A car driver ran a red light into an intersection and collided with another car. The accident was caused solely by this driver, and the other driver was diagnosed as needing 3 weeks or more of treatment. What is this driver's total demerit points? (All post-accident duties were fulfilled.)
When you cause a traffic accident by violating the law, the points for the violation and the points for the accident result are added together (Table 28 of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act). Accident-result points vary with the harm, such as death, serious injury or minor injury, so check which category the diagnosed treatment period falls into.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Annex 28 of the Enforcement Rule, when a traffic violation causes an accident, the violation points and the accident-result points are added together. A signal violation is 15 points and one serious injury (3 weeks or more of treatment) is 15 points, for a total of 30. 105 wrongly counts a death (90 points), and 15 leaves out the accident-result points.
