Kei car limits
Post Body
Good Afternoon,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with some simple answers. My friends and I are planning a short road trip (1 hour travel) and we are trying to save a bit on costs by not renting a second car. We can physically fit five people in my kei car (two in front, three in back), but I'm guessing there is some kind of Japanese law about not having seat belts for everyone or potentially exceeding a weight limit. So my questions are...
Does the seatbelt law apply to backseat passengers as well?
Is there any kind of passenger limit or weight law for kei cars in Japan?
Known penalties for breaking these laws? Does the driver get fined or do all the passengers as well?
