Under current law, non-commercial vehicles need to undergo regular inspection every two years starting from four years since factory release, and commercial vehicles need to undergo regular inspection every year starting from two years since release.

However, because of the lack of legal basis for actionable measures against non-compliance with the regular inspection requirement such as an order to suspend operation, there are over 600,000 vehicles that have not undertaken regular inspection in over ten years.
Accordingly, this Amendment seeks to enhance the safety management of motor vehicles by enabling the registration of cancellation by heads of si/do against vehicles that have not conducted regular inspection or comprehensive inspection three consecutive times, which would enforce inspections on vehicles without ensured safety due to non-compliance with regular inspection obligations, etc. (Article 13, paragraph 3, subparagraph 5&6).

The heads of si/do may file an application for registration of cancellation by official authority in any of the following cases (Article 13, paragraph 3).
5. Where a motor vehicle fails to undergo the regular inspection as referred to in Article 43, paragraph 1, subparagraph 2 three consecutive times or more; or where a motor vehicle fails to undergo the comprehensive inspection as referred to in Article 43-2 three consecutive times or more;
6. Where the vehicle has failed to enter into a mandatory insurance contract pursuant to Article 6 of the Guarantee of Automobile Accident Compensation Act;
