Dump truck driver arrested over fatal hit-and-run

Police said Hoshino, who has been charged with reckless driving resulting in death, told them he didn’t realize at first that he had hit someone.

He didn't realise he hit someone, but turned himself in an hour later because he knew he hit someone? So he's not only a reckless coward, he's also a liar.

Trust me, it's a national thing. These cowboys are downright dangerous when their trucks are empty. They speed and swerve through traffic like Mario Andretti on a racecourse. When their trucks are full, they are just bad mannered butt-holes that intimidate and bully other drivers. TIJ!

Same in Hokkaido. Truck drivers are maniacs in the north and the police n-o-t-h-i-n-g to stop them. I always see trucks less than a meter off the bumper of the car in front of them even in winter. Rest assured, though, if you don't come to a complete stop at a stop sign at 2:00am on a country road with no one in sight, the cops will get you!

I've had issues with dump truck drivers before, its a national thing. When I lived in Fukuoka one came within an inch of running me over after the driver ignored the "Walk" signal I was crossing on and took a left turn like nobody was there. If I hadn't jumped out of his way, he would have killed me.

Not from my experience. But the garbage trucks, oh yeah.
