A guardian let their 10-year-old child ride an electric kick scooter on the road. What is the administrative fine imposed on the guardian?
💡 Hint
Under the Road Traffic Act, anyone under 13 is a child, and a guardian must not let a child ride a personal mobility device on the road (Article 11(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Note that what the guardian receives for this violation is an administrative fine, not a traffic penalty (Enforcement Decree, Appended Table 6).
Answer: ①
Explanation
A 10-year-old is under 13 and therefore a child under the Act, and Article 11(4) prohibits a guardian from letting a child ride a PM on the road. A guardian who violates this receives an administrative fine of 100,000 won under row 1-3 of Appended Table 6 of the Enforcement Decree. The key point is that the guardian, not the child, is held responsible.
Legal basis: 도로교통법 제11조 제4항, 시행령 별표6 제1호의3
