Japan's Road Traffic Law prohibits driving when there is a possibility of trouble occurring or if it is foreseeable.
In fact, even if you are young and healthy with clear vision and consciousness, you are prohibited from driving if your foot hurts when you hit the brakes. Because a sore foot may be useless when you have to slam on the brakes.
The young American did not take steps to avoid a predictable accident, such as getting less sleep.
As a result, he took two lives.
A Japanese man who caused a similar accident was sentenced to five years in prison. Therefore, I think the sentence in his case was quite lenient.
Compensation is paid for injuries and loss of life. This indicates depth of remorse and may be used to determine the severity of punishment. But money cannot buy innocence.
Congressman Lee demanded an apology from Japan, as if the freedom of young American was more important than the two lives of Japanese people.
Considering Rep. Graham's remarks the other day and Rep. Lee's words and actions, as a Japanese person, I once again can't help to realize that the words Americans use to talk about Japanese people, such as alliance and friendship, are completely deceptive
