Panel outlines bill to expand scope of dangerous driving
A Justice Ministry panel has drafted an outline of a planned bill to revise the automobile driving punishment law, including an expansion of the scope of dangerous driving, it was learned Thursday.
The ministry plans to submit the bill during the next ordinary Diet session, expected to start on Jan. 23.
The draft outline, drawn up by a subcommittee of the Legislative Council, which advises the justice minister, calls for uniformly applying the charge of dangerous driving to cases in which vehicles traveling at speeds 50 kilometers per hour or more above the limit on ordinary roads cause accidents resulting in death or injury.
