some of these are very hard to avoid, especially the bike coming from behind the bus. I mean a driver can't see through walls lol. the driver in that scenario can't see the side of the bus until the front of the car is practically done with the turn...
@joshwertheim4 ай бұрын
I think ideally in that scenario the driver sees there's a traffic jam blocking their visibility beyond the bus. So, they make that turn and approach very slowly and then once they can see both ways clearly, they continue and finish the turn onto the new street. It's a lot like when you exit a business' driveway or you're on a steep uphill road approaching an intersection where you can't see both ways until you're right at the most dangerous point. So you've gotta just drive slowly until your visibility clears and you can continue when it's safe.

Scooters shouldn't overtake on the left-hand side. Overtaking should only be in on the right.

Okay the whole video is basically how to drive not how to drive in Japan, but I have a serious question.. those scooters overtaking from the left... do they have any priority or right to overtake in such situations shown or was it them actually causing the accident?
@FeelFukuoka2 жыл бұрын
The situation varies depending on the specific conditions such as whether the scooter was attempting to pass by changing lanes or without changing lanes and whether the car had its left turn indicator on or off. ◯ Overtaking from the left side of the vehicle without changing lanes (except when the vehicle is attempting to turn left) × Changing lanes in order to overtake from the left side of the vehicle In the case of an accident between a motorcycle going straight and a car turning left, the percentage of fault is typically higher on the side of the car, but if the accident occurred after the car had already changed course , the percentage of fault is higher on the side of the motorcycle.

a lot of these are the biker's fault. all traffic is stopped and a bike decides to run a red from a blind side? does japan allow this?
@FeelFukuoka9 ай бұрын
Are you referring to the 2:30~? This accident occurred at a traffic intersection with a green light, and it is actually legal for cars to turn right and motorcycles to go straight. However, the side going straight has priority (in this case, the motorcycle has priority), so cars need to be extra careful to turn right.

I grew up in a country where there are a lot of motorcyclists who are.... let's say not really informed with the dos and do nots of the road, so I'm always alert on the road, especially when I'm turning because in my country, majority of the accidents are caused by motorcycle drivers.

thankyou for sharing. i was amazed by some of the accidents, a lot of it is common sense. i was wondering about the traffic light that was the red circle and green arrow. i want to be able to drive in the country side of japan, but i probably wont drive in the city because public transport is great. I'm from Australia, we drive on the left, so it should be fine :)
