4. DISTRACTED DRIVING.
a. Vehicle operators must pay strict attention while driving. As such, vehicle operators
are prohibited from wearing headsets, headphones, or earbuds while operating a motor
vehicle, bicycle, or PTD. Drivers should also not eat or smoke while operating a motor
vehicle, bicycle, or PTD.
b. Vehicle operators are restricted from using a Mobile Personal Electronic Device
(MPED) on or off military installations such as a hand held mobile phones, smartphone,
personal digital assistant, or other similar devices for the specific purpose of sending or
reading text or e-mail messages while operating a motor vehicle, bicycle, or PTD unless
the vehicle is safely parked.
c. Korean law prohibits the use of MPEDs when operating POVs, PTDs, or riding
bicycles. Only “hands-free” MPEDs that allow the driver to keep his or her hands on the
steering wheel and eyes on the road may be used. Earphone/earbud versions of hand
free devices are prohibited. Failure to obey this law could result in fines, points assessed
against the license, or both. Hand-held MPEDs may be used only if the POV, PTD, or
bicycle is stationary and the motor is switched off.
d. Vehicle operators are prohibited from watching entertainment media capable
devices, such as, but not limited to, video players, while the vehicle is in motion. An
entertainment media capable device is defined as a device displaying videos or video
feed visible to the vehicle driver that may distract the driver from paying full attention while
driving. This means that the use of in-car dash mounted or portable devices displaying
anything other than a navigation mapping system is prohibited while the vehicle is in
operation. This includes GPS devices mounted on the dashboard or in the dash that are
also equipped with multi-media players where the driver can watch TV, video, DVD
recordings, or other visual media other than a navigational map while the vehicle is in
operation.
