A person with a motorized bicycle license is not permitted to drive a vehicle with engine displacement of exceeding 50 cc.

The distance from the point at which the driver identifies danger to the point at which the brake pedal is depressed and the brake starts to operate is called the "reaction distance"

Where a traffic sign as shown in the figure is posted, vehicles may make a left turn regardless of the traffic signal ahead

Drivers must sound the horn at any intersection where visibility is poor, even if it is outside of zones denoted by a "sound horn zone" traffic sign.

When an emergency vehicles approaches from behind on a one-way street vehicles should move to the right side of the road to yield the road, if moving to the left side of the road could impede the progress of the approaching emergency vehicle.

When driving an automatic transmission vehicle and it seems that the vehicle is going to be stopped in traffic for a while, it is advisable to put the gearshift in the "N" position and engage the parking brake.
