If there’s anything we should take from Japan, it’s treating cars like second class citizens behind transit instead of the other way around. The cute tiny cars are more a side effect of that.

    I drive what amounts to a Kei car, it seats 4, it’s about 3.5m long, weighs just over 1000kg.

    It’s not so bad if you drive conservatively, remind your family every day that you love them, and update your will every year.
