  Just as read this while waiting to cross the road, two trucks sped up ( at the very least 60 - 70 kph) to race through a red light as the other way turned green. Crazy truck drivers are everywhere!!!

  @Disillusioned.

  The idea makes sense but there are times when a car will need a burst of power and/or acceleration to avoid an accident. Hence a limit about 20% more may be suitable.

  But then again, you are allowed to race your own car on private race tracks. Something many of these owners do.

  Education is the key... But we know nothing will change in that regards.

  I agree with sillygirl. Any parent walking their kids to school would see this. Cars go racing past many schools and daycare centers etc as drivers hurry to run red lights, talk on phones, watch TV on the navi.

  They really need school zones at set times.

  It is 2013, this should have been done 30 years ago.

  Can the government gurantee no big quakes, tsunami or other natural disasters?

  No!

  But the govt will gurantee more bribes, shoddy inspections and nuclear waste that has nowhere to go.

  Owenfin, while their are reports of less car usage, the traffic in Tokyo is still nuts at peak times!! The number of trucks needed to service such a large population in such a small space is phenomenal. Add to that the taxis and so many taxi drivers seem 65 or older a decrease is welcome.

  Yes more pro bicycle laws and construction rather than the very anti-bicycle views of some Tokyo cities. Build more bike parking, don't tell people not to ride their bike.

  I just renewed my license. They guy told us, 80% of motorbike accident deaths in 2012 were due to idiots wearing their helmets wrong, or poor helmets.

  We have all seen them, those tiny cap like helmets, worn with the helmet back behind their necks etc.

  There are idiots on the road in all countries I visit. Some people never learn.

  Considering the recent people on death row who were found innocent due to new DNA tests there needs to be some review of the system.

  Abe is a hawk. Here is an idea for him.

  Fly the unArmed drones first. Get China use to them. Slip in some armed drones to pattern, launch a few AGM-114 Hellfires, range 8km. Predator deone can hold up to 14 of them. They only cost $25,000 each. Sink one Chinese ship, deny it all, call their bluff.
