"Even if you have 12 major accidents due to electric kickboards, you are subject to health insurance restrictions."

The National Health Insurance Service emphasized compliance with traffic laws, saying that if you are injured while riding an electric kickboard and fall under 12 major violations of duty, you may not be able to handle health insurance.

Personal mobile devices such as electric kickboards are also classified as "車" under the Road Traffic Act and are subject to health insurance benefits restrictions if they are injured due to unlicensed, signal violations, or drunk driving.

In fact, a minor was riding an electric kickboard without a license last year, and the corporation took back 40 million won in health insurance benefits, considering it a criminal act due to serious negligence.

In particular, the corporation said that the youngest driver's license is a motorized bicycle license that can be obtained over the age of 16, so keep in mind that if a person under the age of 16 rides an electric kickboard, it constitutes a violation of the Road Traffic Act.

According to data from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, 2,389 personal mobile device traffic accidents occurred last year, with nearly 70% of drivers under the age of 20.
