>>1032134In Japan back seat-riders having to use seatbelts is a relatively new thing (the law was signed in 2008 I think) and it's only enforced on expressways. Japanese driving culture isn't as tight-ass about following rules as you'd expect in general. Just about nobody follows the speed limits, you'll notice as soon as you try and drive at the indicated limit. And when you're driving to places like pic related, prepare to sweat bullets as you navigate through winding roads that go through villages with your side mirrors scraping walls with impatient drivers tailgating and some asshole coming at you in a spot with nowhere to pull aside.
