These numbers can be seen at every Koban (police box) throughout Japan and show how many people got injured or died in traffic accidents. 166 people were injured yesterday. 4 people have died so far this year and 1675 people have been injured.
Photo taken when I went to get my drivers license renewed – you can read about the process in my Japan Drivers License article where I also talk about the incredibly depressing video that they show you before the license is issued – and before watching the video, the officer says that if you fall asleep while watching then no license for you ;-)
