A grave accident occurred on the Kanetsu expressway in Japan resulting in two fatalities. Local authorities managed to apprehend a suspect thought to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.

In Japan traffic accidents caused by drunk driving are taken very seriously. The nation has strict laws in place with severe penalties, including heavy fines and sometimes imprisonment, to deter such behavior. It stirs public concern as it is not just the issue of road safety, but also respect for societal norms and public order.

Similarly to Japan, the US and EU also enforce strict rules to combat drunk driving. It is considered a serious crime in many jurisdictions, often leading to hefty fines, license suspensions, or jail time. Public awareness campaigns are in place across these regions to educate people about the dangers and consequences of drunk driving.
