“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.”

“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.

“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.”
