요약정보

In the 1953 hit romantic comedy‚ Roman Holiday‚ Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck are seen riding a scooter around the city of Rome.
Now in 2009‚ Mr. Kim Jik is the average white collar employee who gets on his scooter every morning dressed in his suit.
It was 3 years ago that Mr. Kim Jik first started using a scooter in lieu of public transport or an automobile to commute to work. On the crowded road‚ only the scooter is free from the constraints of congested roads.
[Interview : Kim Jik‚ Businessman] "It takes around 40 minutes for me to get to work by bus or taxi. But since it only takes me 20 minutes on a scooter‚ I can relax in the morning and still get to work on time."
Not only can you avoid traffic jams‚ but the fact that you worry less about gasoline prices is another advantage to driving a scooter. Mr. Kim Jik spends less than $15 per month on transportation.
[Interview : Kim Jik‚ Businessman] "My scooter has a 5-liter tank‚ that means I can ride it for 15 days. If you do the calculation‚ it's much cheaper than taking public transportation for an entire month."
The scooter‚ which can travel up to 40km on a single liter of fuel‚ is twice as fuel-efficient than the average automobile.
The little ol' scooter has yet another advantage. It's compact size makes it convenient when looking for parking space.
[Interview : Kim Jik‚ Businessman] "I love riding my scooter in the morning with the fresh breeze in my face. It's also great for lifting your mood and relieving your stress."
As the number of scooter-lovers is on the rise‚ so is the concern about scooter safety. Operating a scooter is even easier than riding a bicycle! Two-day courses in scooter driving are gaining popularity.
[Interview : Kim Hyeon‚ Scooter instructor] "It's not just about throttling your scooter to go and hitting the brakes to stop. Remember to ride your scooter safely."
To drive a scooter under 125cc‚ a motorcycle license will suffice. If you want to put more power beneath your seat‚ a Type 2 license for small vehicles must be obtained. However‚ there are many people who don't know how to drive a scooter properly‚ despite having obtained the proper credentials.
[Interview : Kim In-gyeong‚ Student] "I'm actually scared of riding two-wheeled motor vehicles. It's fine riding in this area
because there aren't any cars around‚ but I get nervous when I'm out in the streets.
I'm learning how to control the slalom and brakes to ride my scooter safely so I can get around without any concerns about getting hurt."
Although driving a scooter may look like a piece of cake‚ there is no excuse for not paying attention during lessons. Learning how to drive safely during these lessons is the first and best way to spare any future grief caused by dangerous driving‚ and ultimately‚ serious accidents.
We could also witness the popularity of scooters at motorcycle stores. There were scooters of all types and shapes‚ and in every color imaginable.
[Interview : Kim Jun-tae‚ Owner
P Scooter Shop] "People used to ride scooters for work-related purposes‚ but these days more people are enjoying them as a hobby. They're also popular due to high oil prices. And there's no need to worry about parking when it comes to scooters."
As scooters have gained popularity‚ accessories to jazz up scooters are also seeing a boom.
"Tuning" is one popular way of making your scooter standout.
[Interview : Yun Seong-ho‚ Tuning enthusiast] "You must understand why you need tuning. Stay away from dangerous tuning‚ make sure you stay safe and riding will be much more enjoyable if you can express your presence by tuning up your scooter."
Tuning can customize a scooter to suit the tastes of each individual rider‚ no matter what the age‚ gender‚ or preference.
