A person who obtained only a motorcycle driver's license three years ago obtained a Class II driver's license for ordinary motor vehicles today. Which statement about this person is correct?
A novice driver is a person for whom 2 years have not passed since first obtaining a driver's license (Article 2, subparagraph 27 of the Road Traffic Act). There is a special rule on when the 'first license date' is counted for someone who held only a motorcycle driver's license and then gets another license, so pay attention to the starting date.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Article 2, item 27 of the Road Traffic Act, a novice driver is a person for whom two years have not passed since first obtaining a driver's license. When a person who held only a motorcycle driver's license obtains another license, that date is regarded as the first license date. So counting from the motorcycle driver's license, or treating the period as one year, is wrong.
