[Rights Remedy] Driver's license revocation due to excessive penalty points, 3 requirements for livelihood-based reduction — Is it only for drunk driving?
If your driver's license has been revoked because your cumulative score over one year exceeded 121 points, you may be eligible for a livelihood-based reduction even if the cause was not drunk driving. The requirements are: driving must be a vital means of supporting your family's livelihood, there must be no grounds for exclusion within the last five years, and an objection must be filed with the Commissioner of the Metropolitan/Provincial Police Agency within 60 days from the date the disposition was received. We explain these three requirements, the composition of evidentiary materials, and the meaning of a 110-day suspension following a reduction through a case study.
[Automobile Transportation] How to cancel the registration of an old car with a mortgage — Cases where cancellation due to age exceeding vehicle life is not possible
If a junkyard has sent back your 13-year-old passenger car—which is fully paid off in installments—stating that "scrapping cannot be processed due to an existing mortgage," you must first cancel the collateralized mortgage on the vehicle registration certificate. We explain that while scrapping is possible through "scrapping due to vehicle age exceeding limits" even if there are seizures, it is impossible for vehicles with only a mortgage remaining (Ministry of Government Legislation 13-0387). We also provide case studies on the criteria for deciding whether to resolve a single fine seizure by payment or by scrapping due to vehicle age exceeding limits, as well as the correct order of scrapping registration and insurance cancellation.
[Welfare & Veterans] Apartment CCTV access refused: how to file a personal information access request and an infringement report — if there is no reply within 10 days
If an apartment management office verbally refused to show you parking-lot CCTV footage 'because it is personal information', a written access request under Article 35 of the Personal Information Protection Act and a report to the Personal Information Infringement Report Center can reopen the way. Using the case of a nurse whose parked car was damaged, we explain the 10-day deadline, partial access (masking) and how to handle the retention period.
[Welfare and Veterans’ Affairs] Application period and documents for re-medical examination for veterans and others who do not meet the grade – There is a 60-day deadline even after the 30-day objection period has passed.
If an application for recognition as a national merit recipient is rejected due to failure to meet the physical examination grade, despite meeting the requirements, you can apply for a re-examination of the physical examination within 60 days from the date you receive the physical examination results notification, in addition to the 30-day period for filing an objection. An example of a discharged non-commissioned officer who injured their knee during training will be used to explain the deadline calculation and supplementary documents.
