While driving a passenger car on a road in Seoul, a driver injured a pedestrian. The driver left without immediately aiding the victim, then voluntarily reported to a police office 2 hours later. How many demerit points are imposed for 'failure to take required measures' in this case?
💡 Hint
Demerit points for failing to act after an accident and then reporting voluntarily depend on the jurisdiction and how long it took to report (Appendix 28, 3. B. (2) of the Enforcement Rule). City areas and other areas use different time limits, and keep this apart from the points for fleeing after a property-damage-only accident.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Annex 28, 3.B.(2), if the driver failed to aid casualties immediately but later reported voluntarily, the penalty is 30 points when the report is made within 3 hours in areas such as a special city, metropolitan city or city. Reporting after that but within 48 hours is 60 points, and 15 points applies to fleeing after an accident with property damage only.
