Tokyo police will begin issuing traffic tickets possibly later this month to electric scooter users for minor offences such as ignoring traffic lights and riding on sidewalks to prevent an increase in accidents. Since summer, cases of unlicensed drivers colliding with cars or injuring pedestrians on pavements have been surging.

Although an avid cyclist, I wish the police would crack down equally hard on people riding bikes. Unfortunately, cyclists are among the most undisciplined and careless in Japan's traffic.
