Japanese speed limits are in dire need of reform. Police need to prove that you were speeding so every speed limit is set 20km/h under the de facto speed limit for the road.
Driving at 60km/h on a road where people expect you to drive 80 or 90 just makes people mad and likely to do something stupid.
- Dah00n 5y ago>Police need to prove that you were speeding It is the same in all societies with a working justice system (well maybe not if there's not a working democracy too).
- taneq 5y agoI wouldn’t call a justice system ‘working’ if it subverts its own processes and traps its citizens with unreasonable laws and inconsistent enforcement.
- sharpneli 5y agoHow do they prove it? Unless it’s by receipt from a radar gun which is how it works everywhere else. We also require receipt, and there is no shenanigans with speed limits.
- SECProto 5y agoAs said, they have no problem going 80, so they're fine on everything except expressways.
- aitchnyu 5y agoNow I need a "top 10 myths about driving in Japan". I thought Japanese drivers obeyed everything to the letter. I also thought Japan was a tiny car market and defacto pedestrian (its one of the biggest markets).
