hi
It’s actually scarier than the states
Biker wearing only shorts and t shirt is in for some serious pain if he ever loses it. Lol
Even geting hit by lose rock or bug at speed is no fun.
The bus crash yesterday in Aichi was pretty bad.
4 years here and stroking the phone while driving , not having kids seat belts on , pulling out at intersection , pulling of the lights while still red , stopping over crossing , tail gating and some serious speeding seems to be fairly normal here. Fines are way to low , speed camera have way to much leniency and loss of point on licenses is way too low. About the only thing right is the alcohol restriction and the re-education you have to do to renew your license or if you end up in court cause where doing 50kmh over the speed limit 😂
At least yellow car guy just racked up his ride without hurting anyone else. This time.
Well once the kids get turned into jam then they can just live with it. Just show tv adverts if kids bring turned into jam and say this is the risk and they will stop
If only the Japanese police force actually cared to ticket and suspend driver license of people who were acting recklessly. I know that might seem extreme but having your child pasted to the front windshield is far more criminal.
Today I was travelling on Route 4 heading south… east side of Utsunomiya. I needed to overtake cars that had suddenly slowed in my left lane (2 lanes, left and right). I got my checks in (motorbike), mirrors, signal, shoulder checks…OK overtake…all of a sudden a lunatic on another bike almost hit my right side. He'd been weaving through traffic at maybe 50% better speed than the rest of us, weaving in and out. Under taking and over taking. Nobody was in the right lane, I'd checked. The place he'd appeared from was my rear left, from a blind spot area around the car behind me and he'd squeezed around the front of that car then swung around my right to overtake me…at speed. I needed to shimmy quickly back into my original place. Had I not done my checks, he'd have hit me! This is my daily experience using a road in Japan. If I don't experience something directly, I witness it with others. Every single day!
Hate blue lights. They are blinding even in day light
