Eğitmen İpucu
“South Korea continues toughening DUI laws following the Yoon Chang-ho Act. Repeat offenders within 10 years face mandatory imprisonment - no more suspended sentences. A third DUI can result in vehicle forfeiture. The 0.03% BAC threshold for license suspension remains one of the world's strictest.”
Level 4 Autonomous Driving Regulations
Yürürlük 1 Temmuz 2026
Limited AV testing permits
Autonomous vehicles operated under temporary testing permits with safety drivers required at all times
Level 4 AV commercial framework
Commercial deployment of Level 4 autonomous vehicles permitted in designated areas; safety operator not required in vehicle but remote monitoring mandatory; insurance and liability framework established
Resmi Kaynak: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
Eğitmen İpucu
“South Korea is among the first countries to allow Level 4 autonomous vehicles without a safety driver. Initially limited to designated areas like Sejong City and parts of Seoul. The vehicle manufacturer bears liability during autonomous operation. Know the difference between Level 3 (driver backup) and Level 4 (no driver needed in area).”
Expanded School Zone Speed Camera Enforcement
Yürürlük 1 Mart 2026
30 km/h school zones with limited cameras
School zones (eorini boho guyeok) had 30 km/h limit but camera enforcement was inconsistent
Universal camera coverage in school zones
All school zones nationwide to have speed cameras and illegal parking detection by March 2026; fines doubled in school zones to KRW 120,000-130,000; penalty points tripled
Resmi Kaynak: KOTSA Road Safety
Eğitmen İpucu
“Following the Minsik Act, school zone enforcement is now universal. Every school zone will have speed cameras and parking enforcement. Fines are doubled and penalty points tripled compared to regular roads. Always slow to 30 km/h when you see the yellow school zone signs.”
Advanced Vehicle Safety System Requirements
Yürürlük 1 Ocak 2026
Basic safety features required
AEB and lane departure warning required on new passenger vehicles
Expanded ADAS requirements
All new vehicles must include AEB with pedestrian/cyclist detection, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention monitoring system
Resmi Kaynak: Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute
Eğitmen İpucu
“Korea is expanding mandatory safety features beyond AEB. New vehicles must now include blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention monitoring. Know what these systems do for your driving test - they assist but don't replace safe driving habits.”
