If there are any of the reasons above, you can request a reduction in fines or installments. Those who can apply for installment payment of fines include recipients of national basic livelihood security, the disabled, and those who are the only ones who can support their families.
Also, among those in the next-lowest class, those who receive medical benefits and low-income single-parent families are also eligible. If it is difficult to pay the fine at one time due to health or property reasons, you can apply for installment payment or receive a reduction in drunk driving fines.
3. Reduction or exemption can be obtained with the permission of the court.
Community service may be substituted for fines. However, not everyone can choose this method, and it is possible only for a fine of 3 million won or less, and the court’s permission is required.
