The person rear-ending you at a red light is definitely in the wrong.

However, in reality, these kinds of incidents have happened in the past.
Even if your light is red, don’t feel safe until at least one car lines up behind you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the spread of smartphones, people’s attention is on things other than driving. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n


I think this applies not just to cars but to all people.
Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles, cars, and so on.

Most people have their attention on their phones, so we need to be extra careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No way! (; \uff65`\u0434\uff65\u00b4) It’s not wrong to say so! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ah, if only I had paid a little more attention back then, I wouldn’t be in this condition…

Living with a disability for the next several decades is incredibly difficult.
Even if you manage to get money, you can’t go back to how things were, and what if the other party is uninsured, has no vehicle inspection, or has no ability to pay…?

You’re left with nothing but to accept your loss. A very harsh reality awaits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust your animal instincts\u2014when something feels dangerous, get away or escape (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You see this a lot on expressways like the Metropolitan Expressway.
Tokyo has so many people that it might just stand out more…

You’ll notice cars (or drivers? or people?) that clearly give off a different aura from those around them.
It’s just a hunch, but it’s best to keep your distance… either pass them and go ahead, or let them go ahead.
Also, electric kick scooters, bicycles, and pedestrians move around freely these days, so you need to be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a red light, signal to the vehicle behind you with your brake lights (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure this won’t happen, but…
You’re not sitting at a red light with both feet on the ground, front brake released, playing with your phone, are you??
On a main road, especially when waiting to turn right, that’s super dangerous. It’s also important to make your presence known to others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance won’t restore your body (*\u00b4\u0437`) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A clean driving record with no accidents or violations is wonderful.
But what becomes most valuable is real experience and real examples, isn’t it?

When you see examples of accidents like this, don’t think “Oh, what bad luck,” <\/strong>but rather
“How did that even happen?” <\/strong>It’s very important to think that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, the more we increase the probability of not being harmed and not harming others, <\/strong>the more we create a situation that’s kind to everyone.
