Which statement about the traffic safety education for first-time license applicants is correct?
For first-time license applicants, the key points of traffic safety education are before which test it must be taken and how many hours it lasts (Article 73(1) of the Road Traffic Act, Article 37 of the Enforcement Decree). Do not confuse it with special traffic safety education of 3 to 48 hours, and also check who is exempt.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 73(1) of the Road Traffic Act, a license applicant must complete traffic safety education before the written test (law knowledge and inspection tests), and Article 37(1) of the Enforcement Decree sets it at 1 hour through audiovisual instruction and similar methods. Those who completed classroom training at a certified driving school are exempt. The 3-to-48-hour range applies to special traffic safety education (Decree Article 38(2)).
