In Seoul, a bus driver played a game on a mobile phone while driving, causing anxiety among passengers.



According to a media report today (23rd), passenger A, who sat right behind the driver's seat of a bus driving downtown Seoul on the 20th, witnessed an absurd scene. 



The driver, who had to focus on driving, was watching a video game while fiddling with his phone whenever the bus stopped or waiting for a signal with his cell phone leaning against the left window.

The game was running while driving, and the driver looked at the screen in the middle. 



Mr. A said, "It seemed to be an 'ignorant game' in the form of turning on and watching." "Every time the car stopped, the driver looked at the screen and fiddled with the mobile phone and auxiliary battery, and while driving, he glanced at the game screen. It looked very dangerous. “He explained the situation at the time.

Mr. A filmed the driver playing a mobile phone game while driving and reported it to the bus company.



In response, the company said, "Once I received the police officer's letter from the article and gave a verbal warning," he said.  



The current road traffic law prohibits using a mobile phone or watching video while driving.

If you are caught using a mobile phone, you will have to pay a fine of 60,000 won for a regular car and 70,000 won for a van, and you will be charged 15 points. 



As the law has recently been amended, the driver must be fined for negligence even if another person filmed and reported using a mobile phone while driving. 



This is a 'news pick'.
