A man in his 60s has been arrested and referred to the prosecution for driving without a license, despite having received three suspended prison sentences for the same offense.
The suspect, identified as a 60-year-old construction worker surnamed A, is accused of driving a 1-ton truck without a license on a road in Eumseong-gun, North Chungcheong Province, at approximately 7:00 a.m. on May 15.
Investigations revealed that A has never held a driver's license and has been caught driving without one eight times between 2000 and last year.
Despite receiving three suspended sentences for these repeated offenses, he was apprehended by police once again for driving without a license.
During police questioning, A reportedly stated, "I kept failing the driving test," and claimed, "I had no choice but to drive for my livelihood."
Meanwhile, after an arrest warrant was requested, A failed to appear for his pre-arrest interrogation and went on the run.
Following a police manhunt, A was finally apprehended three weeks later.
