It was confirmed that the electric scooter driven by Suga was not a personal mobility device. In this case, you will be subject to criminal punishment under the same standards as drunk driving.
An official from the Yongsan Police Station said in a phone call with ‘Dispatch’ on the 9th, “Suga drove an electric scooter. After checking the device, it was not included in the PM.”
PM (Personal Mobility) refers to a mobile device with a maximum speed of less than 25 km and a vehicle weight of less than 30 kg. Low-speed electric mobility devices are known as PM.
The electric scooter driven by Suga is classified as a ‘motorized bicycle.’ In this case, you will be subject to criminal punishment under the same standards as drunk driving a car.
A police official explained, “If you drove a PM, you will only receive administrative punishment. (Sugar scooters) are not PMs. Therefore, you may be subject to criminal punishment for drunk driving.”
According to the Road Traffic Act, drunk driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more is subject to imprisonment for not less than one year but not more than two years or a fine of not less than 5 million won but not more than 10 million won.
The schedule for the police investigation has not yet been set. The police plan to comprehensively look into the amount of damage caused by drunk driving, the distance driven, the circumstances, and whether or not there is a criminal record.
