Most of the time it's not so bad, but sometimes people don't even bother to look if cars are coming, and sometimes the drivers don't look to see if people are crossing, and there's usually some honking, followed by either dirty looks, glares or panic depending on who scared whom, lol.

Coincidentally, my hometown street address was on "Pennsylvania Avenue", so when the officer asked me for my address and I started to say it, he thought I meant the DC Pennsylvania Avenue! So the ticket was mailed to somewhere around the National Theatre, and I never had to pay it :lol: (I think it was around $30 at the time.) Austin, thank you for the movie suggestion! I will look for that. I got ticketed for jaywalking in Washington, DC (Georgetown) once…I had just arrived there to go to college.

I know it's not allowed, but I don't actually think there's any fine for it. But all in all, a fruitful few minutes. I learnt the meaning of two Korean words I've heard and a new word in English, jaywalking. In Norway everybody jaywaks. I know it’s not allowed, but I don’t actually think there’s any fine for it.

I'm not sure if he ever reached it. Considering that even running a red light doesn't even cause most officers to give you a second glance, jaywalking is probably pretty low on their list of things to do. For a real funny police movie you should try and find "바르게 살자" Literally, "The guy who lives the right way" http://movie.naver.com/movie/bi/mi/basic.nhn?code=65540 I think the English name is "By the Book" It's about this really uptight cop who takes his job very seriously....It's sort of like Hot Fuzz. :grin: So this guy I know… well he once said that his personal goal was to get a ticket for jaywalkig in Korea.

As for jaywalking, about a quarter of the people in the city at any given moment are clueless tourists, so who knows how they'll behave, but the commuters and residents generally follow the rules during the day. After hours, it can become kind of a pedestrian melee as the avenues downtown become relatively deserted and serious business gives way to frivolity in the rest of the city.

In Texas there are a lot more cops to be seen than in Korea. I didn't see police men a lot in Korea. Also, I could tell that they were very relaxed more than in Texas. In America, the cops are many times rude and forceful, so we have to obey them. This is just a stereotype, so it isn't always true. Overall, I always felt safe in Korea, sometimes more than America :shock: I many times in korea jaywalk, but in America (Texas) I don’t jaywalk at all.

But when you don't have an ID on you and they stop you, what they do is just ask you for your ID number, and they call their center on the phone and check the number to see if it matches the name you give them :-) Kinda weak, but that's what they usually do. :mrgreen: Has anybody had any experience with the police in Korea? :-) Jason :-)

In San Francisco, very few. Although (제 생각에는) drivers are worse in Boston, it's more dangerous to jaywalk in San Francisco; drivers are not expecting you to be crossing against the light. Never saw anyone get a ticket for jaywalking, though. In Germany, very few jaywalk. An old lady in Berlin gave me an evil look once for crossing against the light. I was setting ein schlechtes Beispiel (bad example) for the children.:oops: If you get a ticket in Korea, do you have to pay an immediate fine? I guess people generally carry ID in Korea?
