Your driver's license was suspended because of accumulated demerit points, and you are now within the suspension period. Which statement about driving during this period is correct?
💡 Hint
A suspension of driver's license means the license has no effect during the suspension period, so check in Article 43 of the Road Traffic Act how the law treats driving in that period. Also consider whether the purpose or still holding the license card creates an exception, and whether the violation ends with a traffic penalty (Article 152).
Answer: ④
Explanation
Article 43 of the Road Traffic Act prohibits driving a motor vehicle not only without a license but also while the license is suspended. Driving a car during the suspension is punishable under Article 152(1) by up to 1 year in prison or a criminal fine of up to 3 million won. There is no exception for the purpose of the trip or for still holding the driver's license.
