Two points of inquiry:
#1, In relation to the texting thing, my friend has lived in Okinawa for the last three years and told me that she saw devices that doubled as TVs on the dashboard, and that they were quite common and even more of a road hazard, because people would be watching their favorite Dorama~ while driving down the highway. Is this true on Mainland? |
Those are the combination car navigation device / TV. Lovely pieces of technological distraction. Don't know how many have really caused accidents, though.

| #2, does being a Foreigner (especially American) automatically make the traffic accident your fault? |
No, of course not. Just keep your cool. Nothing worse than a direct-speaking, angry arrogant foreigner. Also remember the 80-20 rule of insurance in most cases will still make you liable for something. And realize that there is a zero-tolerance law for blood alcohol. |
