Video evidence proves that a passenger car driver used a handheld phone while driving, but a traffic penalty notice cannot be issued, so an administrative fine is imposed on the vehicle's employer/owner. How much is it?
💡 Hint
The traffic penalty notified directly to the driver and the administrative fine imposed on the vehicle's employer or owner when no penalty notice can be issued are different amounts (Article 160(3) of the Road Traffic Act and Appendix 6 of the Enforcement Decree). Even for the same violation, do not confuse the two tables.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 160(3) of the Road Traffic Act and Annex 6, item 8-2 of the Enforcement Decree, the employer/owner of a vehicle whose phone use while driving is proven on video is fined 70,000 won for passenger cars etc. and 80,000 won for buses etc. 60,000 won is the traffic penalty notified directly to the driver (Annex 8), which is different from the administrative fine.
