rewolf on Nostr: I got fined in Japan the other day for driving too long in the right hand lane ...
I got fined in Japan the other day for driving too long in the right hand lane (usually the overtaking lane in Japan) in the middle of the country side where there was no one around.
I was showing my visiting parents the scenery, and saw the cops speeding up behind me , so I pulled over to let them past (because I was in the fast lane and know the rules).
They slowed down as they passed me and waved me over to give me a fine.
Funny thing is that I was actually over the speed limit and thought that's why they would fine me.. But no, "driving in the passing lane for too long"
Japanese police really don't have much to do though, except reach their quotas.
