Oh, almost forgot this one, but recently noticed the police on bicycles riding around with shiny new white helmets.
It's the completely toothless penalty free law....
Serious answer: You can expect that the police will be pulling over anyone riding without a helmet to advise them of the change in laws for a few months.
I have a hard time imagining everybody, grand mothers included, suddenly buying an helmet... Magic Japan never ceases to amaze me.
I can, everyone is wearing masks even though it's fine without!
Got me curious, so I went to the big bicycle shop up the street (I needed a tube anyhow) and they're almost sold out of helmets. Counter guy said they can't get them in fast enough.
That would be a bit outrageous. I have bicycle insurance that comes with my car insurance. I think it’s also more geared to covering damages if I hit someone else… haven’t had to use it, so no real idea.
Not a concern. They can't change the terms of coverage to an existing plan, and need to provide a clear notice of change to terms with renewal if they wish to implement it when the current term expires.
I assume the standard term is you're insured as long as you follow the law.
Nope - that only affects percentage of liability. Your medical coverage is unaffected.
My wording was a bit strong.
That’s a common mistake, but it actually has to be a tinfoil hat.
