Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the differences between the severity of punishments for traffic laws related offenders and the choice of policy measures with a view to reducing traffic accidents. To this end, government data on the drivers given a sentence of license suspension or revocation were collected and analyzed in terms of sex, age, type of driver's license, driving career, number of traffic laws violations, and number of traffic accidents generated. The statistics of analysis of covariance and tests of significance were used and conducted to compare the effectiveness of punishment for the penalty and the incentive groups. The results showed that the incentive policy measure on the drivers who violate traffic regulations repeatedly is more effective to reduce the number of traffic offenders and traffic accidents.

본 연구는 교통법규를 위반한 운전자에게 주어지는 처벌의 강도와 정책수단의 선택에 따라 교통법규 위반과 교통사고 야기 감소라는 정책목표 달성에 차이가 있는지를 분석하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 동일한 위반행위에 대해 운전면허를 취소하는 경우와 재위반시 운전면허 취소를 전제로 운전면허 정지로 감경처분을 하는 경우 처분이후 18개월간 교통법규 위반과 교통사고 야기에 대하여 공분산분석과 표본매칭 후 비교집단간 t검정을 실시하였다. 분석결과 유인정책을 활용하는 것이 강한 처벌을 하는 것보다 제재 이후의 교통법규 위반과 교통사고 야기를 감소하는 효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다.
