Driving Manners
- Since Okinawa is car society, people of all ages drive their car. Be alert to the
cars with green or brown leaf sticker on them. Green leaf represents the driver
is a beginner and brown leaf means the driver
is a sinior.
- Okinawans tend to forget using turn signals when they turn corners. They
sometimes use the signal just one second before they turn.
- You might be amazed to see people park thier cars on sidewalks.
- Okinawa's taxi has the worset driving manner. They do not follow the traffic
rules at all. That means they often go on red or making a turn in no-turn zone.
- Okinawans think that riding a motorcycle especially a moped on sidewalk is not
illegal but that's what they do everyday.
- People tend to drive within the speed limit on express highway.
- So many riders try to go through sides of cars and have accidents.
- Not many car drivers would expect or see a motorcycle when they change lanes.
