Chinese Man Throws Bicycle Thieves on Scooter!
In recent years, I live in Japan, and to travel by car and bicycle.
As many of you may know, the Japanese cities are quite crowded, the roads are narrow and parking is expensive The cost of car ownership is considerable, and for these reasons, many people make the bike.
Every day you see a lot of commuters on their bikes Some tower in the streets, some on the sidewalk, but no matter where the journey, many people move bike course accidents happen, cyclists hit pedestrians Car hit cyclists, but the rate of dangerous accidents is pretty low.
The biggest reason why this is so because people are aware of the right people who cycle are aware that they are responsible if they hit a pedestrian, and car drivers know that they are responsible if they touch a bike or driving laws pedestrian Japan are more severe than damage caused by a person driving a vehicle is considered a crime if a child or elderly person runs into the street without warning, and you run them on your car and kill them, you go to jail, therefore period, when driving a car, you are supposed to be ready in case something like this happens.
I remember getting my driver's license in Japan, it was an interesting experience of all, I had to go to driving school, spending several hours in a classroom, and then another number of hours behind the wheel with an instructor the average cost of driving school is about 2500, and took about 3 weeks.
Then I had to take the written test, which was several pages with 30 questions per page, many of them quite vague, and worded somewhat differently entrained manual that is the size of a small novel When I took the written test, I was very surprised that half of test takers pass didn t, and had to take it back.
The driving test was difficult, especially in that the closed circuit used by the licensing center was being renovated, and I had to drive through the streets of the city of Tokyo in peak hours You must attention to how you are near a sidewalk when you turn a corner, how you are close to the white line when you stop, and how often you look at the mirrors and over your shoulder you are also judged to look par- over, under, front, back and around the car before you know it, and look over your shoulder before you open the door then you have to go all the parking space parking lot in Japan, the except for automatic signaling, you need to return to a place, you simply pull into one, and navigate very tight semi-swastika cross obstacles without running over the curbs.
A funny thing about the driving test is that everyone failed the first time Some people say that this is to teach humility drivers, most people say that this is done because cost 30 to pass the driving test, and people usually fail, the more money the licensing office makes all fail the first test, the second most fail, many fail third, some never move at all, one of the people taking the test with me was his 7th attempt that failed.
As for the laws of the road, the more your vehicle, the more you are responsible if a bike is struck by anything larger than a bicycle, the larger vehicle operator is automatically assumed to be at fault, except direct evidence also another interesting point is that in an accident between vehicles, both cars share a fault If I stopped at a red light, and I am by someone send rear-ended on SMS their phone, by law, I will be in part responsible for the accident, because I chose to drive a car.
Despite strict licensing rules, and the potential consequences of accidents and driving violations, the Japanese are not very good drivers, however, the roads are much safer here in Japan than they are in America, probably just about any other country.
Quote of the driving laws of Japan are quite serious in that damage caused by a person driving a vehicle is considered a crime if a child or elderly person runs into the street without warning, and you run them on your car kill them, you go to prison, therefore period, when driving a car, you are supposed to be ready in case something like this happens.
That would never be allowed here first innocent until proven guilty, the second, driving is considered a right too far.
All this mentality that I pay tax on the road here is simply overwhelming.
I'd be against this type of legislation By extension, if we execute anyone who was involved in a fatal accident rate of fatalities would probably fall, but this is not the kind of society I want to live in this said, I really would be a way to make people pay attention to driving and to take responsibility seriously, I know that to blame the lawyers.

Parts of Europe have similar laws on the driver's responsibility and more intensive pilot training Driver training in the United States is a joke.

I have no problem with a better driver training all I just thought that slowly stricter license revocations are in order, with less partial licenses that can get to work and other essential activities European countries have adopted similar laws resulting from Bein people jailed little sense to me the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the free world, making me believe that US citizens are not particularly sensitive to the threat of prison, I will submit as evidence the war against drugs, which seems to be a war on social class and ethnicity on the course drug does not appear to affect the drug much.
But out of curiosity, why do you think what is done in Europe and Japan is a good reason for what should be done in the US Clearly, the United States does something different that makes our system work better as those of Japan and Europe.
All I ask is that while driving portion of the test, there is a representation of a person cycling on the course If the driver passes too close, they get an instant fail the test should be more on patience and in ways well beyond basic training capacity.

We do not work better we tend to use more power than more finesse, we tend to think of might makes right, and we often go for brute force on efficiency.
If you think the United States is best in cycling, just why is it, as a country, we have the modal share the lowest per capita number biking in the world.
We show on the above list at number 43, Davis, CA; then at 155 Cambridge, MA, and 156 Santa Barbara, California all university towns, BTW There are many, many European cities well above us and some in Japan as well, we are not better bike's why I think we can use examples of how things are done better in other countries.

OK your way to have the United States are other reasons for its successful global dominance of the global economy over the past 100 years, and to some extent, China will overtake the United States but that's OK too, they run out of people to be sure they are dead out there I never said that the US was better than cycling cycling everyone but I'm sure the reason for the condition of the bike here is a combination cheap energy, great distances, lazy people, and to a very minor degree the skills of American drivers and the absence of tougher penalties for bad driving decisions in fact, I am reasonably sure that if at all suddenly we got hit and kill a pedestrian or cyclist a capital offense and crazy hit a prison offense, there would be no observable difference in percentage of bike action.
frankly tis discussion thread is why I ran away to promote cycling in the 70 bicycle advocates in the United States seem to have no idea why people do or do not fit either for recreation or transportation, and are all ready to think the coach is working in European society, it will result in American society may be that art, I bet against it.
I enjoyed my short visit to Japan I went just cited; big and small, I think something is universal throughout the world; The cities where things are closer have more cyclists than rural populations where shops etc are working more remote areas.

Shoot, I did not know we were talking politics, I thought it was a CYCLING NET.
Since the wire has evolved in penalties to hit the vulnerable users, I think the policy I was answering the opportunity stricter penalties I think sociology is not political.
O well K have your way U S has other reasons for its successful global dominance of the global economy over the past 100 years.
It is not really quite 100 years, after the war when we had the advantage of being the only developed country that wasn t and reconstruction could take on the economic benefits of the Western world had enjoyed in part the fruits of colonialism Ra We now see the inevitable global shift away from this model.

I agree with you for today's driver education When I learn to drive many, many moons, I remember there 36 years ago is a very difficult program that or I ' was a terrible student LOL but what my son described to me when he got his license seemed like it was during the accident no pun covering road rules and a time or two on the road with instructor and BAM again, no pun intended, have your driver's license.

When I learned to drive, driver training was part of the formation of public school, it was a long course semester, he took time in the classroom, simulators are not very good, for now gambling standards and more on road courses has been there 46 years.
My son has described an intensive 40-hour course given by a private business school not available in most public school, for its formation 14 years ago, it involved a lot of videos.
We went resolutely back in the driver education in this country.
I agree with you for today's driver education When I learn to drive many, many moons ago it 36 years ago, I remember it being a very difficult program that or I was a terrible student LOL.
I got my license in Philly 35 years ago, it was not difficult t You can get a learner's license by passing a written test with multiple choice and a simple eye test that allowed you to run a car during the day as long as there was a licensed driver at least 18 years in the front seat when you felt you were ready, you can get your full license by taking a test that was actually on a course closed at a police barracks in the state large parts of the test are not blowing the stop sign that was close to where you started the test, turning into a stand with borders and execution a three-point turn without hitting a curb, some little old serpent by the traffic that you took at 15 mph and pulling in a mall- as the parking space in an attempt not to over situations Reell es of life there, especially at low speeds.
I failed both tests once several years before me, my mother took his test on the same course, she was a bad driver that she crashed the car into a kind of metal terminal or Query Two truck was coming to take her car away.
I agree with the shameful state of driver training and ease of licensing in the United States, I would not object to say once a decade mandatory retest, both written and practicum But I doubt any real attempt to do something like that because people have pretty much agreed that 30,000 deaths annually are just a cost of doing business.

I do not believe it's been that low in a while and now is on the rise.
Quote He estimated that 40,200 people died in accidents involving motor vehicles in 2016, up 6 percent from the previous year.
If the estimates are confirmed, this will be the first time since 2007 that more than 40,000 people died in motor vehicle accidents in one year has total 2016 after rising 7 percent in 2015 and means an increase of two years 14 percent is the largest in more than half a century.
I guess the best drivers in America are Japanese immigrants.
I'm going to Japan in our vacation in September, so I'll make a note of the different way of driving mentality is compared to Shanghai where pedestrians must learn to Dodge traffic.
Didn t realize that it is part of 40k Thanks for the update, I wonder if there is a level of mortality than average to say non-lawyers population say that's pretty We need to start spend money on everything you need to solve this problem.

The average population just doesn t care until it hits home then there is outrage, but is beaten by the average population not caring.
The average driver thinks they lead better than them, can access text while driving, and can indulge in alcohol before and lead the average driver is part of the problem.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists the main causes of traffic deaths that excessive speed for the conditions, distraction and alcohol all three are due to choices made by the driver and collisions are seldom really accidents.
But the rate of dangerous accidents is pretty low.
Japan road death rate is actually the average among developed countries based on the latest data IRTAD Japan September 4 100k population, the OECD average is 5 1 Sweden and the UK are bound to the best 2 8 then that the United States is worse with September 10 Among those who have high share of cycling NL sE are 3 March, while dE is May 3 and 4 Finland 2.

I agree with you about the threat of punishment have a marginal impact and our failed war against drugs is a good example, not only is the United States while most EU countries Presumed responsibility have now more powerful vehicle is considered misconduct unless proven otherwise and helped a little, but is limited Too many drivers think they just won t hit anyone.
But out of curiosity, why do you think what is done in Europe and Japan is a good reason for what should be done in the US Clearly, the United States does something different that makes our system work better as those of Japan and Europe.
When others do something better then n is not a good idea to look at what they do to be more successful and perhaps imitate the United States the most dangerous roads in all developed countries and took decades isn t good idea to look at countries like the UK, NL and sE to see what they are doing so to avoid killing their people.
