We will take time to learn how to report violations of disabled parking spaces and fines. In modern society, as members of a community, everyone should be equally respected. In particular, people with disabilities face many difficulties in daily life, and parking spaces for people with disabilities are provided to help them live and move conveniently.
Unfortunately, in many cases, there are many violations of disabled parking spaces, and we often see people who park their cars in parking spaces reserved for disabled people. These violations cause a lot of disruption to the lives and mobility of people with disabilities, and are emerging as a social problem.
Violation of disabled parking spaces is a violation of public regulations and must be subject to legal sanctions. Disabled parking spaces are marked according to specific regulations, and drivers of ordinary vehicles cannot use them. If you see a suspected handicapped parking violation, you should report it and seek legal consequences.
How to Report a Disabled Parking Violation
1. Taking pictures of witnessed violations and obtaining evidence
It is recommended that you obtain as much evidence as possible before reporting a handicapped parking violation. To do this, you need to take clear pictures of your vehicle’s license plate, violations and surroundings with your smartphone.
2. Report to the competent organization
Disabled parking violations are handled according to the jurisdiction of the municipality. Reports can be made by e-mail or phone to the Road Traffic Law Violation Report Center of the competent organization. When you make a report, the competent body will review your report and take any necessary action. The reporter’s personal information is protected and, of course, anonymous reporting is possible.
3. Report to the police right away
In cases of handicapped parking violations that are too serious, or have not been or are not subject to appropriate action by the competent authorities, you may report directly to the police. You can also make a direct report by calling or visiting a nearby police station.
However, there are also caveats. Reports of handicapped parking violations must be factual and accurate. A false report can hurt the reckless, so you should do your research before making a report.
Easy reporting through safety report
You can also report violations of parking spaces for the disabled through PC or mobile devices. This service is supported in a place called “Safety Report”, and in the case of mobile applications, you can get free apps from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
1. Reporting by PC
If you are accessing by PC, enter the safety report on the Internet, click the report button > fill out the report, and you are done.
2. Report via mobile
For mobile, it’s just as simple. After running the app, report illegal parking > Select illegal parking type > Illegal parking in the disabled area (take 2 photos at 1-minute intervals and attach – required).
Penalty for violation of disabled parking area
To park in a handicapped parking area, a parking permit sign must be attached. However, a fine of 100,000 won will be imposed if this sign is not attached or if a person with a walking disability does not board the bus even if it is attached.
In addition, a fine of 2 million won will
be imposed if a parking area sign for the disabled is forged, altered, transferred to another person, or used in an unfair way.
In addition, you must pay 500,000 won if you leave an object in the parking space for the disabled, enter the second side and park your car widely, or obstruct the vehicle from coming out.
