Talk about some traffic regulations in Korea.

Korea has many local regulations to manage traffic. First, Korea's roads are right-hand traffic. Inside, the cars are left-hand drive. Each road has a speed limit, and many have speed traps or traffic enforcement cameras. Some cameras record speeding drivers in specific location, but others are average speed cameras. There are also cameras to crack down on illegal parking. During special periods such as national events traffic polices double down on catching drunk drivers. Korea's highways are all toll roads. Every segment has a tollgate. The toll can be paid automatically when passing the tollgate using an onboard device. Bus lanes in urban areas are set aside for smooth operation of buses. Other cars that use the bus lanes must pay a stiff fine if they are caught.

Why are you driving so slowly? We're going to be late.

Stop nagging. I don't like driving too quickly. It's not safe.

But there aren't any other cars. Step on it.

We're going fast enough. Besides, there are speed cameras on the road.
