“I drove a kickboard for a few minutes yesterday. I was not aware that I needed a license and a helmet in Korea because I was able to ride a kickboard freely in the UK and Europe,” he admitted.
Lingard then said, “I recommend foreigners visiting Korea to check the regulations. Safety comes first in everything. Everyone should wear a helmet. I will not do that again.”
Lingard is accused of riding a kickboard in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, at 10:20 p.m. on the 17th. He found out by posting a picture of him driving a kickboard without protective equipment on his SNS.
After confirming this, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that it has launched an investigation (internal investigation) before booking in connection with Lingard’s unlicensed and unclaimed driving.
In September last year, before joining Seoul, Lingard was suspended for 18 months for drunk driving and speeding in the U.K. The police plan to check the details including whether Lingard is actually unlicensed. Lingard also conveyed his sincere explanation to the police through his team.
Personal mobile devices (PMs), called electric kickboards, must have a motorized bicycle license that can be acquired from the age of 16 or older to drive.
If a person is caught riding an electric kickboard without a license, a fine of 100,000 won will be imposed. In addition, a fine of 20,000 won will be added even without wearing a safety helmet.
However, as shared electric kickboards are widely used, many people without licenses use them as expedients.
