Jesse Lingard gets slap-on-the-wrist fine for riding e-scooter without license, helmet

Eek… He didn’t know the law. I never used the scooter but 80% of Koreans do not wear helmets too. You don’t see Koreans carrying around a helmet to rent e-scooter on the streets. I prob saw police officer stop one person over the past few years. Government must make these laws known if they want people to follow it.

I didn’t know you needed a license for an e-scooter. Are they talking about e-scooters like the Bird in USA?

Educate me, but how is this a slap-on-the wrist?

* Riding e-scooter without license – currently legal fine = 100,000
* No helmet – currently legal fine = 20,000
* Extra person – currently legal fine = 40,000
* Going against the traffic – current legal fine = ?

The article argues that the fine is 300,000. But every single resource, including the government’s website says 100,000 is the fine. So there is a discrepancy between what this article says, and what the government’s legal information, as well as every other article says. Why is this particular article the only correct information?

So where did that 300,000 come from and why is this slap on the wrist?

What kind of licence do you need for an e-scooter?
