The Blue House responded with the approval of more than 355,000 national petitions requesting a revision of the Civil Diet Act.

Today (20th), Kim Gye-jo, head of the Disaster Safety Management Division of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, pointed out that the driver may be subject to excessive punishment under the 'Ministry of Mind Act'. Answered.


The controversial 'People's Emotion Act' was established in September of last year in the school zone in Asan, Chungnam, after the voice of Kim Min-sik, who was 9 years old, died in a traffic accident. . Although it has been in effect since March 25th, there has been a backlash saying, "There are many situations in which children's unexpected behavior is unpredictable, but it is unjust to take full responsibility for the driver."

In this regard, General Manager Kim paid attention to the term 'careless driving duty' specified in the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes. It is not true that there will be more severe penalties because they are subject to weighted punishment only if they fail to fulfill their duty of safe driving, such as exceeding the prescribed speed or not looking ahead.


He also said in a court case, "I admit that there is no negligence in situations where the driver could not foresee a traffic accident or avoid an accident." At the same time, he promised that he would do his best not to cause unfair drivers by judging in detail for each incident through scientific analysis of the National Institute of Scientific Investigation and the Korea Highway Traffic Authority.

A request was also made to understand the purpose of the revised laws. "The goal of the revision is to strengthen the punishment standards for children's traffic accidents so that drivers can drive with more caution," Kim said. "Ultimately, we want to prevent children's traffic accidents."
