Seventy-three thousand South Korean drivers over the age of 65 have returned their driver's licenses to avoid road accidents, TASS reports.
Middle-aged people in the Republic of Korea have followed the government's call for reducing road vehicles and limiting road accidents caused by older drivers. Each pensioner who returs his or her driving license is paid about $ 87 a month in compensation for using public transportation.
