Driving in the air from tomorrow to severe punishment Calling the driver June 29, 11:57
The revised Road Traffic Law will come into effect on the 30th, and stern driving will be severely punished. Prior to this, a call was made to the driver on a highway in Tokyo.
On the 29th, at the Ishikawa parking area on the Chuo Expressway in Hachioji, Tokyo, approximately 30 people including police officers handed out leaflets to drivers, saying, “Adriving is a crime”.
Although tilt-driving has not been legally defined until now, this revision of the law stipulates driving due to actions such as crossing and sudden braking to obstruct traffic.
If you do this, you will be punished by imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 1 million yen.
The driver in his fifties who received the leaflet said, "I have started to commute by car due to the new coronavirus, but I see some cars that are dripping because I am in a hurry when commuting. I want you to stop dangerous driving I was talking."
On the 29th, we also conducted a crackdown using a helicopter and watched for any suspicious vehicles from the sky.
The Metropolitan Police Department has decided that this is a malicious driving that could lead to a fatal accident, and has received a revision to the law, and plans to further strengthen the enforcement of driving on highways and ordinary roads in various parts of Tokyo.
Masaki Kousato, Director General of Transportation General Affairs Division, Metropolitan Police Department, said, "Even if there is some frustration or annoyance, I want you to keep in mind the comfortable driving that keeps the distance between cars at a slow speed."
