After the rain stopped, a car driver drove through a roadside puddle without slowing down and splashed muddy water on a pedestrian on the sidewalk. What administrative fine is imposed on the driver?
💡 Hint
Splashing puddle water or the like onto other people is a violation for which the driver receives an administrative fine, not a traffic penalty (Article 160(2)1 of the Road Traffic Act and Appendix 6 of the Enforcement Decree). The amount varies by vehicle type, so check the amount for a passenger car.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Article 160(2)1 of the Road Traffic Act and Annex 6, item 7 of the Enforcement Decree, a driver who splashes puddle water and harms others is fined 20,000 won for passenger cars and buses, and 10,000 won for two-wheeled vehicles. 30,000, 50,000 and 70,000 won are not the amounts for this violation.
Legal basis: 도로교통법 제160조 제2항 제1호, 시행령 별표6 제7호
