Cops should just stand by and ticket the buses - in the US, places have no issues ticketing Fedex or UPS vans (and the companies consider it a cost of doing business). This behavior won't change until they starting having to pay.

Tired of bad drivers on the road? Maybe you should blame bad government.
That idea comes from an interesting new theory put out by James O'Malley at the blog CityMetric. After bad experiences with drivers in Romania, O'Malley wondered if the country's historically tumultuous governance had anything to do with it. So he looked at data for traffic deaths — a logical proxy for people's driving skills — and respect in the rule of law.
He found a strong correlation between traffic deaths and scores given by the World Justice Project on rule of law, which grades countries based on surveys with 100,000 people and 2,400 experts on dozens of indicators:

TOKYO —
A 7-month-old baby boy, strapped in a baby carrier on his mother’s back, was killed after a car hit the bicycle the woman was riding on, knocking them to the sidewalk, in Tokyo on Friday.
Police arrested the driver of the car, a 25-year-old woman, on a charge of reckless driving resulting in death.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 10 a.m. in Kokubunji, Tokyo, Fuji TV reported. Police said Fumie Yamada, 33, was riding her bike, with the baby in a carrier on her back. As she crossed the street in between cars waiting at the traffic lights, she was hit by a car coming from the left. The impact knocked Yamada off her bike.
Police said the baby sustained a head injury. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The mother suffered a light injury.

Methinks the mother has been punished enough already...

They should forbid fog lights in Japan, because fog is very rare here.

For a limited definition of "here." Mine are often necessary.

75% of the drivers where I live use fog lamps in clear conditions, no one uses lights on rainy or overcast days....
I even asked J friends what is the meaning of フォグ, no fucking idea. フォグランプ apparently are "extra lamps" even though they complain bitterly that they get blinded by oncoming traffic.
