How to check car driver’s license penalty points
A few days ago, a notice of fines was sent to my house. It’s a shame, but one of my family members was caught on camera for violating a red light while driving. This was my first time receiving a notice of fines while driving. I wanted to know what the difference was between driver violations, demerit points, fines, and fines. I think it’s common sense that you need to know if you want to continue driving in the future, so I’ve summarized it briefly.
Today, we will find out how to check the penalty points of a car driver’s license and what the criteria for license suspension or license cancellation are. 🙂
Difference between fines and fines
In the notice of violation and advance notice of fine imposed that I received, it is clearly stated that: Verification of violator driver – fine, demerit points / Unconfirmed violator driver – fine. Let’s start by looking at the difference between fines and fines. To summarize, it is as follows.
Fine: Imposed on the driver along with penalty points if the driver is identified
Fine: Imposed on the vehicle owner (holder) if the driver is not identified
In other words, when a violation of traffic laws occurs while driving, if a traffic police officer detects the violation immediately and the driver is identified, a fine and demerit points will be imposed on the vehicle owner.
The fine imposed after a violator is identified is lower than the fine, but you should not pay the fine based solely on the amount!!
If you pay the penalty without properly checking the difference between the fine and the penalty, a record of violation of the law will remain, which may result in an increase in car insurance premiums.
How to check car driver’s license penalty points
You can check your car driver’s license penalty points through the National Police Agency’s Traffic Civil Service 24 website.
Both internet and mobile are available, and a public authentication process is required to verify identity when making inquiries.
In addition, you can visit the National Police Agency’s civil service office in person with your ID card to inquire, or call 182 without an area code to check the demerit points of your driver’s license using your license plate number.
Penalty points on a car driver’s license are imposed for violating traffic laws, causing a traffic accident, or failing to provide relief after a traffic accident. Car driver’s license penalty points are managed cumulatively for three years, but if the penalty points are less than 40, they expire after one year.
Penalty points can be eliminated or reduced by not causing an accident, reporting a runaway vehicle, or completing special traffic safety training.

Standards for license suspension and license cancellation
If you accumulate penalty points on your driver’s license, your license may be suspended or revoked.
Criteria for license suspension: When penalty points or penalty points are 40 or more
License cancellation criteria: If the cumulative penalty points are 121 or more for 1 year, 201 or more points for 2 years, or 271 or more points for 3 years.
Penalty points on a car driver’s license are imposed for violating traffic laws, causing a traffic accident, or failing to provide relief after a traffic accident. In accordance with Appendix 28 of the Enforcement Rules of the Road Traffic Act, penalty points for the past three years are accumulated and managed based on the date of violation (date of accident).
The accumulated points, which are the basis for cancellation of a car driver’s license, are managed as ‘the cumulative sum of penalty points for each violation/accident – offset value’.
Disposal penalty points, which are the basis for suspension of a driver’s license, are managed as ‘accumulated points – the sum of penalty points that have already been enforced.’

Extinguishment of disposition penalty points and offset method
Car driver’s license penalty points can be canceled, offset, or reduced depending on the items below.
If the penalty points are less than 40, the penalty points will disappear if there are no violations or accidents for 1 year.
Penalty point deduction for reporting a getaway vehicle: 40 points per report

Application and implementation of good driving mileage system
Additionally, if a court finds you not guilty of a violation of law or traffic accident that is the basis for imposing penalty points, the penalty points are immediately deleted. However, if the driver’s license is ineligible for reasons (mental illness, psychotropic medication, alcohol addiction, etc.) and the driver is proven innocent, demerit points will not be deleted.
Good driving mileage system
The easiest and simplest way to manage your car driver’s license penalty points is to apply for the Good Driving Mileage System operated by the National Police Agency. You can apply for the Good Driving Mileage System through the National Police Agency Traffic Civil Service 24 website, and a public certification process is required when applying.
The Good Driving Mileage System is a system that allows you to accumulate 10 mileage points once a year to offset demerit points if you pledge to follow traffic laws well. During the one-year pledge period, 10 mileage points will be accumulated if there is no driver’s license cancellation or suspension, penalty notice, fine for negligence, or any action that causes a traffic accident. There is no limit to the number of pledges, and mileage is accumulated each year upon application.
