Man punches driver, steals car for being on 'his road'

Nihonjin ron at its finest!

The directions to avoid this conflict was in his name- they shouldn'tve "pushed" him....

Osanai has denied the charges, police were quoted as saying.

Of course! He was drunk and doesn't remember a thing ...which makes him innocent!...according to most defense cases.

GTA Tokyo! here we go!

I see people immitating Nico Bellic accent! This is my road! this is my car! Don't make me shoot you!

happy days :-)

Osanai

Haha, great name for a childish guy!

According to police, the incident happened on May 16. Police said they received several reports of a drunken man shouting, “This is my road,” TV Asahi reported. The man, who has been named as 49-year-old Nobuo Osanai, reportedly blocked the road, shouted at and then punched a 41-year-old male driver, before stealing his car. Osanai has denied the charges, police were quoted as saying.

The usual, "I was drunk, I don't remember..."?

Drunkness

That's why these ojisans urinate in public. I thought it was a drunken thing, but to my surprise, they're in fact marking their territories!

Had the guy not been drinking and was driving, I would have given him a thumbs up.... seems this is not the case though. Japan needs to come to gripes with its alcohol problems.

There are days when I feel like doing the same... Hehe. Nice story!

This is "My Way". By the way, the car was found the next day in a parking lot.

The driver should have hit the accelerator to let Osanai get a birds-eye view of his road.

So many crazies here in Tokyo too!

Not just Osaka, right??

Me think that recent madness in JP are the result of Fukushima radiation. No other explanation is possible.

silvertongue - You could be right. There was one yesterday just urinating in the open gateway of an elementary school in the late afternoon as I drove by.

I'm glad he was arrested. That just happens to be my road.

I can see accepting the charges, apologizing, and admitting you were drunk and don't remember. But denying the charges (especially if saying you were drunk) just seems idiotic. Did the man have injuries? I'm sure they have physical evidence.

Nah, this kind of thing has been going on for many decades!

Ehmmm, because you read it Jojo?

That'll teach him to drive on another mans road.

Nuff nuff!!!

"This is my road!" LOL! Like a true BOSS!

Well... Is it his road or not?

Problem is the dearth of yards in this country. In America, he'd have the simpler option of yelling, "Get off my lawn!"

better lock your doors and windows when passing a drunkard telling you get off the road!! Learn something new everyday.

Does the road have a name ? How about Nobuo Osanai's Rd. We need to name roads. Actually this could be a new startup business to auction off road names to the highest bidders.

Okay bad idea .

Now I have to find a new road and start all over. Kampai!

"This is my road"

I get that all the time from obnoxious drivers.
