자동차 운전면허제도의 문제점과 개선방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

While new driver license holders’ number is growing as time goes by. lack of citizenship to follow the traffic laws and inadequate management of regulations currently under enforcement are causing various social losses such as property damages and threatening drivers’ lives and so on. According to the Korean National Police Agency’s white paper. it showed that among 56.3% of total motor vehicle accident. 68.8% drivers involved in motor vehicle accident fatalities died from violation of safety regulations, followed by crossing the centerline and neglecting traffic signals. This implies that current test system of driver license does not reflect enough well whether the drivers are fully understanding related traffic laws and regulations, which means the test system is required to be amended. It is required to expand mandatory education hours on traffic safety, increase written test question numbers and its level of difficulty as well as increasing mandatory road driving education hours. In operational aspects, it is to introduce polices that manage the senior drivers, amendment of Good Driver Incentive Milage System, and temporary driving license system that is given to those who have passed the road driving test in private driving school. Suggested policies in this paper to improve current motor vehicle driver license system are expected to be used as a basic data in revising ‘The road traffic law’ and in operational aspects, especially it will contribute a lot in managing those who newly licensed drivers, student driver license holders, novice drivers whose experience less than 1 year, and senior drivers etc. to improve overall safety environment.
