Osan City Conducts Joint Inspection of Delinquent Vehicles at Osan Toll Gate

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won Reporter] On the 27th, Osan City conducted a joint inspection of delinquent vehicles at the Osan toll gate in cooperation with the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, Osan Police Station, and the Seoul-Gyeonggi Headquarters of the Korea Expressway Corporation to target high-amount, habitual delinquent and illegally operated vehicles.

The inspection targeted vehicles with delinquent vehicle taxes for two or more periods or vehicle-related fines of 300,000 won or more in arrears. Vehicle owners whose license plates were impounded must pay the full amount of their delinquent taxes to recover their plates.

However, vehicle owners of freight vehicles and delivery trucks classified as livelihood-dependent delinquents were provided tax payment convenience by withholding impoundment through payment agreements for installment payments.

The inspection detected 10 delinquent vehicles (700 million won in local taxes and fines, etc.) and collected the full delinquent amount of 7 million won.

Meanwhile, the city operates specialized vehicles equipped with license plate recognition and delinquency inquiry systems and conducts impoundment not only on weekdays but also on public holidays and at night.

Additionally, the city is strengthening inspections through targeted impoundments and intensive investigations targeting chronic and habitual delinquents.

Shin Dong-jin, head of the Collection Division, stated, "Going forward, we will continue to encourage payment from delinquent vehicle owners and implement strong collection measures against chronic delinquents to raise awareness of delinquency and foster an atmosphere of voluntary payment consciousness."
