A passenger car driver violated a traffic signal on an ordinary road that is not a protection zone. What is the traffic penalty for this driver?
💡 Hint
For the same violation, the traffic penalty differs by vehicle category: buses, passenger cars, or two-wheeled vehicles (Table 8 of the Enforcement Decree of the Road Traffic Act). Along with the violation, first check which category the vehicle you drove belongs to.
Answer: ③
Explanation
In Annex 8 of the Enforcement Decree, the traffic penalty for a signal/instruction violation is 60,000 won for passenger cars etc., 70,000 won for buses etc., and 40,000 won for two-wheeled vehicles etc. Since this is a car driver, the traffic penalty is 60,000 won; 70,000 won is the amount for buses.
