Did you know splashing pedestrians with water or mud while driving is actually illegal in Japan? π¦π
This is because it is a violation of Japan's Road Traffic Act. If you soak a pedestrian while driving on a rainy day (or right after it rains), you won't lose points on your license, but you could face a fine of up to Β₯7,000 (approximately RM176). π―π΅
Depending on the situation, you could also be on the hook for cleaning costs, damaged belongings, legal fees or even compensation if the victim has to miss work. ππ§
The lesson? Give pedestrians priority and slow down near puddles because a moment of carelessness can turn into a real headache. π§οΈ
