A passenger car driver was caught driving on an ordinary road without making a 10-year-old child in the back seat wear a seat belt. What administrative fine is imposed on the driver?
💡 Hint
If a driver does not make a passenger wear a seat belt, the driver is charged an administrative fine, and the amount depends on whether the passenger is under 13 (Article 160(2) of the Road Traffic Act, Appendix 6 of the Enforcement Decree). Keep this apart from the traffic penalty for the driver not wearing one.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 160(2)2 of the Road Traffic Act and Annex 6, item 9 of the Enforcement Decree, a driver who does not make passengers wear seat belts is given an administrative fine, which is 60,000 won when the passenger is under 13. 30,000 won is for passengers aged 13 or older, so it does not apply to a 10-year-old.
