The amended Road Traffic Act


ENGLISH VIDEO


11月1日から改正される道交法では、自転車の「ながら運転」および「酒気帯び運転」の罰則が強化されます。

Starting from November 1, the amended Road Traffic Act will strengthen penalties for "distracted cycling" and "cycling under the influence of alcohol."
ながら運転
自転車でスマートフォンや他のデバイスを使用している際に「通話のために使用した場合」「画面を見続けた場合」「交通の危険を生じさせた場合」に、罰則が適用されます。
Distracted Cycling
The amended law will impose penalties if a cyclist uses a smartphone or similar device while riding for "making calls," "continuously looking at the screen," or "causing a traffic hazard."
酒気帯び運転
従来は「酒酔い運転」に対してのみ罰則がありましたが、改正後は、呼気1リットル中0.15㎎以上のアルコールが検出された場合も罰則が適用されます。また、酒類を提供した者や自転車の同乗者も罰則対象となります。
Cycling Under the Influence of Alcohol
Previously, penalties applied only for "drunk cycling." However, with the new amendment, penalties will also apply to "cycling under the influence" if the cyclist has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 mg or more per liter of breath. Additionally, individuals who provided alcohol or a bicycle, as well as those accompanying the cyclist, may also face penalties.
