“2,800 warned on first day of new traffic law”
Written Summary:
On the first date of the enforcement of the new traffic law, nearly 2,800 drivers in Tokyo were warned by the police that it required passengers in back seats to wear seat belts and elderly drivers to display a sign called “Momiji Mark” on their cars to reduce traffic accidents. According to Metropolitan Police Department, there were more than 1,000 cases of people who failed to fasten seat belts and more than 1,500 cases of elderly drivers aged 75 or older who failed to display a sign while driving. If passengers in back seats violate the new law, they are subjected to punishment as follows.
-On express ways -One-point penalty
-On tourist buses or in taxi -Imposing punishment on drivers
-In the case of passengers in pregnancy -They are exempt from punishment.
However, according to National Police Agency, they told officers not to crack down on them strictly during road until this road safety campaign ends because it takes time for the public to get used to the new law.
Opinion Statement:
I think that it is necessary for the elderly aged 75 or older to inform other drivers that they are at the wheel in some way because I have read the article that there is a case in which the elderly suffering from dementia causes accidents.
Discussion Questions:
1. My father aged 76 feels stressed about the new law, but I think it is a necessity. Do you agree or disagree with my opinion. And why?
2. If you have a driver’s license, have you urged passengers in back seats to wear seat belts? If you don’t, have you been asked to wear seat belts when you are in back seats?
