<Anchor> In
Ulsan these days, you can often see imported cars running on the road without license plates.
It is difficult to get compensation properly if you have an accident with an unregistered vehicle, but UBC reporter Shin Hye-ji covered what happened.

A foreign car driving on the road.
Upon closer inspection, there are no license plates.
However, these vehicles are not the only ones.
I followed where I was going.
A car tinting company stopped at a stop after running 700 meters.
[President of tinting company: (I was wondering where and how this car came from.) At the ○○○ (imported car) center. It moves a little bit right in front of you.] A
salesperson or a tinting company employee has been driving the vehicle in order to tint the new car before even attaching the license plate.
A foreign car without a temporary license plate had to use a car carrier to go out on the road, but cost was a problem.
[President of a tanning company: We spend less than 100,000 won for one car (sunting), but a carrier costs about 30,000 to 40,000 won, so we also have to work when we have some money left.]
Violation of the Automobile Management Act.
A bigger problem is that in the event of an accident with these unregistered and uninsured vehicles, both the perpetrator and the victim are unlikely to receive adequate compensation.
The road in front of the foreign car shop here is a six-lane round trip, and it is a place where there is usually a lot of vehicle traffic and citizens coming and going.
However, even reporting it is not easy.
[Neighborhood residents: To meet, I commute to work and go back and forth often, but they also violate the central line and drive recklessly a lot.
I don't even have a license plate, so I can't report it right away...

soon as the coverage began, the foreign car store acknowledged the problem and announced that it would immediately improve the system it had been customarily doing.
