Why Does Japan Drive on the Left?
1 Answers
Japan's practice of driving on the left side of the road was implemented according to the Metropolitan Police Department Ordinance (Road Control Regulations) of 1900 (Meiji 33). Below is relevant information about the vehicle license: 1. Application: The vehicle license can be processed at the traffic management department of public security authorities or the local vehicle management office. You need to bring your ID card and the invoice for the purchased vehicle to complete the application. 2. Importance: The vehicle license is crucial as it serves as the vehicle's ID card, used to identify the vehicle's status, whether it is roadworthy, and whether it meets the requirements for a motor vehicle. 3. Legal provisions: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" promulgated by the State Council stipulates that vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are permitted to drive.
