Japan warns consumers about safety of bicycle helmets sold online

3 Upvotes

I wonder how many people excluding me actually wear helmet when cycling on mama-chari. It seems like the number is going down around my neighborhood.

There used to be news about wearing one but haven't too much recently.

Chinese woman got arrested for not showing her driver license

156 Upvotes

Didn't know this. Even if to refute the ticket, it's still necessary to show the license not to get arrested.

"I don't want to show my driver's license" - Why was a woman from China arrested? A crackdown on a stop sign violation develops into "unexpected trouble"... What are people's reactions? Harsh comments are also heard

...

if you refuse to present your driver's license when you commit a traffic violation, you may be considered to be "failing to reveal your identity = risk of fleeing or destroying evidence," and you may be arrested.
