Driving in South Korea - 10 Things You Should Know!

[@salemalkaabi2005]

Im new in Korea. and honestly this is the best video about driving here. Thank you.

[@karenok3548]

this video is packed full of interesting information I would never have known...parking, tickets, hazard light usage, going thru red lights, the police action, bike lanes, cameras and more! Great video clip inserts.

I am korean and moved to US 20 yrs ago. I never drove in Korea but I am planing to drive soon while visiting my parents in Korea. I used to drive in Manhattan every week and deal with tough yellow cap drivers when I went to grad school there but I'm still very nervous about driving in Korea!

[@faithprayerblessings]

great video you should make more videos. I will be moving from usa to korea in a few months and Im looking for much information to prepare my family.

[@wannaflyme]

I'm Korean myself and I totally agree with you. Sometimes I too get frustrated with cars parking on roads.

[@swee2251]

In Korea, there are speed cameras that check how long it takes for a car to pass one camera to the next. Other speed cameras in Korea just check the speed on the spot. A sign warns of a speed camera further on, so it helps to learn Korean when driving in Korea.

[@달서-x7w]

Please make a video about the most popular korean car.

[@GenHornhead]

I've driven a fair amount in Korea, much of it in Seoul, and haven't noticed people driving through red lights. I very rarely see pedestrians even cross the street before the crossing signal. The rest of the points are relatable though.

[@andreasol9899]

Great video. 👍

[@golchakkar.official]

Can we turn right on a red light? Because I failed my driving licence test when I turned right on a red light

[@대한민국-m8w]

한국에선 우회전 여부가 상황에 따라 다릅니다. 교차로에서 차량의 직진 신호가 빨간불이라도 보행자가 무단으로 건너고 있어도 다 건널때까지 정지하고 있어야 합니다.설령 보행자가 없더라도 빨간 불에선 차량의 4바퀴가 모두 일시 정지 후 약 1~2초 지나서 진입 통과할 수 있습니다.거꾸로 파란불도 마찬가지라고 보면 됩니다.그냥 무조건 한번 정지 후 통과 하십쇼.

[@forexdragon]

I'm worried about four way uncontrolled intersections as Koreans love to play chicken. I'm a Korean myself too btw. Thanks for the video as I'm moving to Korea in six months and have never driven there before.

[@SELBLINK_in_your_area]

Most things are very similar to Germany (including cars parking everywhere although getting tickets for wrong parking). Differences: 1. traffic lights from left to right (instead of top to bottom) 2. no one would leave a phone number, Germans love data protection 3. everyone stops at red traffic lights (pedestrians excepted, some cyclists excepted) even if there's no traffic at all because fines for hitting a red light are very high in Germany. The fines are lower in South Korea.

[@downtownon7thavenue]

This was very informative. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed this video.

[@beanybun6248]

Thanks for watching. I had more to say so I might make a part 2 in the future.

[@hanj31]

tip number 1 don't drive in south korea. Drivers back in my home country drive like maniacs. It's not worth your sanity.

[@SELBLINK_in_your_area]

Is public transportation acceptable in South Korea? I read it should be very good in Seoul, but how about areas outside of Seoul area? Or outside of bigger cities in general?

[@SELBLINK_in_your_area]

​@@권재인-e3o Thank you for your answer! 감사합니다 Busan and Daegu are bigger cities, my question refers to rather rural areas: If you are in a small South Korean village, will there be a bus stop with acceptable timetable? In Germany, I'm used to public transport, but it needs a lot of improvement in our country!

[@ebdo7863]

@@SELBLINK_in_your_area Most people live in the larger cities and their satellites. Countryside is just that..... literally country. Very few small villages are linked to the larger cities (satellite towns, yes) and most farmers have their own transportation, and ONLY farmers appear to live in small Korean villages - from what I see. I knew someone who taught in what might be considered a rural small 'town' and the bus to the south of seoul (bundang) only left every 3hrs. Only twice on weekends. Think more the lines of rural Netherlands, Ireland or yes, maybe Germany. But not as bad as say rural middle America. That's my opinion. I could be wrong.

[@jesuscasillas630]

Thank you for making this video. I have a question, can i wash my car outside of my home or do i need to it to a car wash? Its because i have a chinese friend that said that in china is illegal to wash your own car.

[@Iknowudontknowme]

crazy parking + narrow road = !!BOOM!!

[@iranjackheelson]

Where in US did you grow up?

[@alphafiddlesticks5623]

How did you get your Korean license?

[@kimthinamylife]

Do you have reviewer fo written exam

[@vancemccarthy2554]

As far as I can tell, no-one is aware of anybody at any time.

[@신호정교수경영학과]

Very good information. ^^

[@milansijapati1653]

Good

[@_koreatourmanager718]

I'm Korean. There's some wrong information, but most of it's good.👍

[@GoldieGlam]

Can you point which ones are wrong? So we dont get the wrong info

[@okazay]

@@GoldieGlam I don't think there was any wrong information in this video. I live in Korea.

[@TedBroTV-mb5ge]

I am also korean. Two Yellow line on the end of right means you can not park anytime and children protection zone as well. Red light means stop even if there is no pedestrian. Almost cars have the black box on the front window in korea, so they can report what you did. You can get a ticket after few weeks.

[@ebdo7863]

I love everything about Korea and Korean culture. The ONLY thing that would make me want to leave korea are the drivers. You practally BUY your licence therefore Koreans are the worse drivers on the planet, bar maybe the city of Rome (I have lived/driven in 9 countries, and driven in 22 countries total). On a daily 45min commute it is common to see at least one accident, driving in the USA for 2 weeks last year (road trip), I saw ZERO accidents. Here the turn signal barely exists. Honestly, do not drive here. It will make you want to leave Korea. My friend did leave because his child was nearly killed twice by people running red lights in Mokpo. Stick to Korean food and public transportation. Both are great.

#11 No Toyota (and any japanese car)in South Korea

What? It's the other way round.

[@alpzerlaken]

F40 I don’t know they are not a lot of them i guess. There are more Hyundai and Kia that is what I see.

[@catlover4357]

@@alpzerlaken There are also many german cars in Korea. Koreans prefer German brand and most of cars imported to Korea are from Germnay.

[@quotes8564]

@Young Young German cars are the best in korea. Only those who want to ride German cars but lack money ride Lexus. Lexus is less popular than Genesis in Korea. I’m been four years since I lived in Korea.

[@rajeshgoyal6671]

similar habits in india

[@marcoraydiaz]

I wad scared that it’d be too different from Bulgaria, where I currently live, but nope, Korea’s like an easy mode compared to whatever the fuck bulgarians got going on
