      With all the news about foreign drivers, I thought it was more than 2.1%.

      Japan probably would be better to focus more on elderly drivers than foreigners.

      Traffic accidents by elderly accounts for over 15% of the accidents.

      Anybody know the Japanese link to the original data? I want to know the real number by prefecture. What they show on the headline is the average for whole Japan. IT might be higher in a certain prefectures.

      > But holders of Japanese driver’s licenses likely include those who have switched their licenses from other countries to Japanese ones, a procedure that has been criticized by some lawmakers as being „too easy.“

      You know what else is too easy? Older japanese people are updating their licenses without actually having to retake the tests or do proper knowledge/reaction tests to see if they can still react like a proper human being.

      Accidents caused by foreign drivers accounted for 2.1 percent of the total in the first half of this year, which is lower than the percentage of foreign-born people in Japan, at around 3 percent. Some important context, just in case this gets misinterpreted by the you-know-which-party crowd.

      The total number of licensed drivers in Japan stands at 81.6 million, of which 1.25 million are foreigners, accounting for 1.53% of the total.
      It is a serious matter that 1.53% of drivers are responsible for 2.1% of all accidents.

      Yeah, and foreigners ain’t the issue. Elderly old farts ARE a problem, no surprise.

      Again, I’m curious about this. I’m a foreigner but I learned to drive in Japan in Japanese at a Japanese facility with Japanese people. I’m essentially the same as a Japanese driver.

      How would I be counted?
