A driver in Japan, after being involved in a hit-and-run incident, returned to the scene of the crime following his mother's persuasion. Unfortunately for the remorseful person, the act resulted in the driver's arrest by local law enforcement. The incident brings into focus Japan's strict stance on road safety violations and the significant influence familial ties can have on one's actions.

In Japan, hit-and-run incidents are viewed with severe disapproval and carry heavy penalties. This case highlights the strong societal influence of the family, especially parental wisdom, in prompting actions of moral rectitude. The mother's advice reflects the societal value of responsibility and rectification towards one's mistakes.

In comparison, U.S and EU too take hit-and-run cases seriously, though cultural dynamics might differ. The influence of familial advice may not have the same impact on personal choices and legal obligations as it does in Japan.
