numbskull, we don't know if riding double caused the accident or not. Riding double on a scooter built for a single rider does affect steering and balance, so until more information comes out about the cause, it is worth mentioning. Your car analogy is moot, as cars are usually built…

Agree with other commentators, not enough detail. Sad about the girl, but if they were riding double on a moped made for one, it doesn't matter if the truck driver was at fault, they were wrong to do so. Stricter enforcement of ALL laws in Japan would be good, but…

The police are doing their best, they don't have a lot to go on right now. You can't expect them to find the killer(s) that quickly. That being said, kick it in high gear guys. If you need more people, bring them in from other prefectures.
