As a general rule, the epileptic patients can drive if he or she have not had any seizures for more than two years. The Road Traffic Law regulates as such. But if the patients lie or conceal, the law is practically ineffective to prevent the accidents.

This article seems to be more or less inaccurate. The Associated Press report that Americans and Filipinos were made to trudge 65 miles to prison camps. But they walked only 26 miles (42km) for three days. The Rest of the March, captives used trains and tracks. They had to walk because US troops destroyed a lot of tracks owned by Japanese Imperial Army. Furthermore, Japanese soldiers brought heavy arms and baggages containing foods and water. To the contrary, the captives brought nothing. All they had to do were only to walk 9 miles(14km) a day.

Posted in: Health ministry inspects Kawasaki hospital over fake accreditation of doctors See in context
All doctors on the article have doctor’s license. So far, the ministry did not revoke their doctor’s license. They revoked the license of designated psychiatrist. Only doctors who work as a doctor for more than five years and as a psychiatrist(MD of psychiatry) for more than three years can apply for the license. They can get the license for five years in the shortest after being a doctor. The designated psychiatrist can make the patients hospitalize against their will, seclude and restrain the inpatients. The pass rates of designated psychiatrist are around 60%. St Marianna University School of Medicine is one of the easiest medical schools to enter. The students are bad at studying. I heard that the failed applicants copied the reports of their seniors or colleagues, and the staff of the ministry found the injustice. A diet member pointed out another injustice in another first-class medical school. I think this problem will spread more within a year.

Posted in: Abe says history will prove him right over security bills See in context
Japan is surrounded by rogue nations, Russia, China, North Korea, South Korea. Russia and S Korea illegally occupied the Northern Territories and Takeshima island, respectively. N Korea abducted several hundreds of Japanese, repeated nuclear tests, and launched many ballistic missiles. China is illegally digging offshore oil fields in the East China Sea and has persisted the Senkaku Islands to belong to them. Three of the rogue nations have nuclear missiles. Moreover, all of them do not establish democracy and stable legislative systems. So they often break promises with other countries and lie. Like Israel, in terms of security, Japan is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the right of collective self-defense.
