While reversing a passenger car, a driver dented the bumper of a parked car. No one was hurt, but the driver left without leaving contact or other personal details for the owner. What traffic penalty is imposed on this passenger car driver?
Even if you damaged only a parked or stopped vehicle, you must give the victim your personal details such as name and contact information (Article 54(1)2 of the Road Traffic Act). Do not treat it as minor just because only property was damaged; check the traffic penalty for passenger cars, etc. in Appendix 8 of the Enforcement Decree.
Answer: ④
Explanation
When it is clear that only a parked or stopped car was damaged and the driver does not give personal details to the victim, it violates Article 54(1)2 of the Road Traffic Act, and under Annex 8, item 1-3 of the Enforcement Decree the traffic penalty for passenger cars etc. is 120,000 won. 40,000 won applies to things like no-parking violations and 60,000 won to things like signal violations.
