The transit system here is great, but remember that is a trillion yen industry. It isnt cheap. You have to pay for such good service and convenience. And everyone uses it.

life without alcohol is booooooring. Studies have also shown that alcohol consumers live longer despite the health problems. Something about the stress levels lower and happiness levels higher.

He probably likes to wear them. Any strange fetish is still extremely hush hush in Japan. He doesnt want to or cant afford to buy them?

I imagine it was a pretty scary situation. But being animals ourselves, I wonder what the mans first thoughts were having his own child in his arms? Fear? survival? panic? murder?

hmmmm...just out of nowhere? he started spitting? no altercation or cross words? I mean, 62 year old cab drivers are ALWAYS so polite and good natured. ALWAYS. They are never surly or difficult.

"based on your statistics we would all be dead". Really? yeah thats exactly what I am saying. Why dont you re read what is being written instead of flying off the handle and trying to project your emotional interpretations of what is written. I said that 19 out of the 20 motorcyclists violates a traffic law. Be it speeding or changing lanes without signaling. I serious doubt such melodrama as "we would all be dead" is going to happen from a motorcyclist not signaling to turn left or a second passenger on a 50cc scooter. The speed limit for scooters is 30kilos per hour. I have never EVER seen a scooter driving this speed nor do any of the cars that are around me following the speed limit. I never said that i was the only one who drives in Japan but it is OBVIOUS that you are not one who does or you would be in the know.

northlondon- out of the 20motorcyclists I see everyday, 19 of them violate a traffic law. Its not an assumption, its what I see. Everyday. Of the 100 automobiles i see everyday on my commute, 99 of them break a traffic law at some point. Speeding, illegally stopping, changing lanes using no signals...etc.etc. It is like an obstacle course. Its not an assumption, its witness to a traffic violation.

even if you were there you would still be speculating your opinion. Thats what makes free countries so great. you are allowed to have an opinion. Based on the sheer volume of reckless drivers seen everyday, speculation that this driver is probably one of them is based on the odds of safe law abiding cyclists to non law abiding cyclists. Perhaps many of you ride trains and dont venture out onto the highways and biways of Japan and see this stuff first hand everyday.

northlondon- i understand your point but being out on the roads everyday and driving in this country is a dangerous thing. And everyday you see SO many people not wearing helmets, double riding, speeding, running lights, sudden illegal stopping, opening doors in traffic, not obeying traffic laws and putting lives (namely mine) in danger. So speculating here is really a matter of playing the odds. Odds are....he was one of the aforementioned. Its very easy to replace this person with the image of every reckless motorcyclist i see everyday. so, in this case, its difficult to show the appropriate respect for loss of life when i feel on a daily basis that they put MY life in danger. Because I am extremely safe and aware and courteous when driving, I am here to speculate on this accident.

Why is speculation so frowned upon? that is how all deductions start- through speculation. We make deductions based on what we see everyday. And as a Scooter driver, I lose my life almost everyday to the EXACT same things. Bicycles and pedestrians that dont pay attention to traffic signal, dumba** motorcyclists revving their engines and weaving up both sides of traffic, delivery trucks going 50 kilos over the limit. EVERYDAY I see exactly what Disillusioned described, so it doesnt take being at the scene of an accident to know where the odds lay on what happened. Speculation is the first step.
