Drivers in Korea are known to be really rough and bad. When I was in Korea the summer after my senior year in high school, I had an experience of riding a taxi at night. It was honestly one of the most terrifying moments of my life. The driver continuously uses profanity even when I am in the car seat right next to him and honked so frequently at other drivers. It wasn't just my driver, but many other drivers constantly honk at others and all the drivers are very impatient. People also switch lanes very violently and almost all the time it looked like it could very easily cause a crash. From my experience, driving in Korea is definitely a bit more terrifying than United States.
Public transportation in Korea is really important to get around. Due to heavy traffic all the time, many prefer to use public transportation and walk to their destination. You can get to literally about anywhere using public transportation. The metro system is very similar to United States. You can simply find your color line and follow along the line to get off at the right city. Compare to United States, you do have to walk a lot more and once your off at your city, you are basically on your feet the whole time until you get out of the city by the metro. If you happen to visit Korea, the metro is your best friend!
