Which of the following people may NOT ride a personal mobility device (such as an electric kick scooter)? (All licenses are valid.)
A personal mobility device is legally a type of motorcycle, so you need a license that allows you to drive a motorcycle (Article 2, item 19-2 and Article 43 of the Road Traffic Act). Full licenses and student licenses cover different vehicles, so distinguish them using Appendix 18 of the Enforcement Rule.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 2(19-2) of the Road Traffic Act, a personal mobility device is a type of motorcycle, so under Article 43 the rider needs a license that covers motorcycles. In Appended Table 18 of the Enforcement Rule, motorcycles can be driven with a Class I driver's license for large, ordinary or small motor vehicles, a Class II driver's license for ordinary or small motor vehicles, or a motorcycle driver's license. Motorcycles are not among the vehicles a student license covers, so a student license alone is not enough.
