So if charged with negligence and you have full insurance does that cover the compensation to the injured parties?

One day the epidemic will be over throughout the world but Australia and New Zealand will be still closed off to the world...

Whereas at the moment they are very safe as they have eliminated the virus but as soon as people start travelling again they will still have to be locked down which at the moment is the strange mentality of politicians there! With current system the country can never open imo

Does anybody think that the order to arrest the Nissan CEO/ Ghosn would not have happened without approval from the highest office in the land? I cannot fathom any other scenario .....

@Kenji Fujimori

Police and the media/government work hand in hand to convict their detainees/prisoners without trial without a right of reply to their accusers.

Its a kangaroo court style of justice!

In Australia there was AD campaign to tell drivers to leave a 2 second gap between car in front....It depends on the distance you travel in 2 seconds depending on your speed which is varstly different for speeds between 60 and 100kmh.

This gap is what majority of vehicles with human response time can pull up safely in!!

Is their statistics for domestic violence here? I checked in Australia and approximately 50 people are killed in domestic violence each year.

Im sure most are not reported on here so it seems it is very high here!

I would not like to be the cleaners! When visiting public parks here where 99% seem to be squat toilets there is usually a pile of feces on the floor which is a good excuse to keep a safe distance.

Can anyone explain why drivers in accidents where people are injured are criminalised in this country whereas in many other countries these genuine accidents are treated as accidents without driver being charged with a criminal offence and landing in jail???

Posted in: Man gets 17 years for reckless driving resulting in death See in context

I think he got long sentence because no financial compensation was given! Either insurance pays it if you have full cover or family but im guessing he had no money.

The other night around 7pm I saw a COP in the middle lane( 3 lanes) of Yamata dori pull over a guy and was sitting on his bicycle holding up traffic having a nice chat to the guy in the van? UNBELIEVABLE...sorry I didn’t get a photo/ back in Australia they have training on where it is safe to pull over motorists etc and here they put the driver and themselves in harms way!!

Pretty normal behaviour walking into oncoming traffic without looking....i live in mejiro and regularly see people crossing mejirodori without glancing left or right and by the grace of god havent seen anybody killed yet. the other day i saw a guy riding through minor intersection looking upwards at the sky....ive had an idiot coming round a corner on wrong side of road and when he saw me in his path flicked his handlebars and crashed heavily into the ground/ i kept going of course!! Its about time the laws were changed here to not criminalize drivers for a genuine accident when person driving is being responsible FFS!! I also cross the street as in this accident but ALWAYS look for oncoming traffic first....sense of self preservation is non existent here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Japan needs deflation to bring prices to normal level and we are still not there yet. Not sure why government wants inflation when everyday items are more expensive than most other countries..... People who live here have been getting ripped off for years and when prices start coming down to a reasonable level they want to force inflation back on us here....what a JOKE!!!

Posted in: 75-year-old woman killed in hit-and-run in Yokohama; man arrested See in context

Im in agreement with you @1800YOULOSE The way the japanese police and their legal system crimilizes law abiding drivers is a joke. I had a chat to a police officer from japan that told me if a pedestrian is killed in a accident the driver is locked up for 2 weeks while they investigate. This was in northern japan. Also the officer told me that if the driver was doing speed limit and was not able to stop in time then perhaps if they were going 15kmh slower then accident would not have happened!!! This line of reasoning is beyond belief when a drivers life is being ruined through stupid laws. In most countries through europe , australia, NZ etc if a pedestrian is crossing road without looking and driver was driving within the rules and they are hit and driver tried to pullup in time but couldnt then it is declared as accident and generally driver is protected from criminal liability.
