1. Signal violation fines and fines
1.1. Difference between fines and fines
Fines for traffic violations include fines and fines. Even though this looks similar, there is a difference. A fine is a fine levied when someone is caught by a police officer, and a fine is a fine levied when someone is caught through an unmanned camera or black box. The fine is 10,000 won cheaper than the fine. So would it be better to get caught by a police officer? Penalties are more serious than fines.
1.2. How much is the fine and fine?
When caught with an unmanned camera or black box, you don’t know who was driving, but when caught by a police officer, you can find out who was driving on the spot, so the driver is issued a fine and even gets demerit points.
Since a fine is an admission that one has violated the law, it also affects the insurance premium surcharge. Additionally, accumulating demerit points can lead to license revocation, which is fatal for those who drive for a living. Even if it is 10,000 won more expensive, the fine is better. Please refer to the table below for traffic signal violation fines and fines.
