Has the Toyota driver been sentenced for 8 instances of reckless driving?

Sentencing has been completed. Below is relevant information about Toyota: Toyota Motor Corporation: Toyota Motor Corporation is an automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and Bunkyo, Tokyo. It is affiliated with the Japanese Mitsui zaibatsu. Since 2008, Toyota has gradually replaced General Motors as the world's top-ranked automobile manufacturer. Its brands mainly include Lexus, Toyota, and other series of high, medium, and low-end models. Logo: The three-ellipse logo of Toyota has been in use since the early 1990s. The large ellipse in the logo represents the Earth, with two ellipses forming a 'T' in the middle, symbolizing Toyota. It signifies Toyota's foundation in the future, its confidence and ambition, as well as its commitment to customers, indicating that the hearts of users and the automaker are connected with mutual trust. It also hints at Toyota's advanced technology and innovative potential.
Having driven for so many years, I often see similar cases in the news, like that Toyota 8-time lane-cutting incident, which was the driver's personal behavior and not the fault of Toyota. I heard that the driver of the Alphard intentionally cut lanes multiple times, and with solid evidence, was penalized. In China, severe lane-cutting may violate the crime of dangerous driving, and in extreme cases, can lead to detention or fines, but it depends on whether it causes accidents or casualties. When I encounter someone cutting in line, I remind myself to slow down and yield, avoiding aggressive maneuvers. Safe driving is more important than anything—lane-cutting can easily trigger chain accidents, ranging from fines to criminal liability. There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Developing good habits can save lives.
From a legal perspective, frequent reckless driving or actions that endanger public safety may lead to criminal liability. Regarding the Toyota 8-time reckless driving incident you mentioned, I understand the driver was detained for investigation. The crime of dangerous driving can result in imprisonment, with a maximum penalty of one year of detention, but cases without fatalities usually end with fines and education. The focus is on driver responsibility, not the car brand. I recommend car owners study traffic laws more, such as reviewing related cases for prevention. During daily driving, being recorded for multiple traffic violations increases the risk of legal consequences. Following the rules protects both yourself and others—don't let minor issues escalate.
