Unfortunately, many of us have gotten a traffic ticket. Some people might assume we “do not commit” a crime by it, but violation is violation. Some points are subtracted, and a fine is imposed when we get a traffic ticket in Japan. If 6 points are subtracted in total, the driver will be suspended. Plus, the driver will be arrested and have a criminal record if the driver refuses to pay the fine.
The consequence is serious for visa application if you get a traffic ticket in Japan. Please make sure to drive carefully.
