Japan Tightens Drunk Cycling Laws, Imposes Stricter Penalties
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Japanese authorities have suspended nearly nine hundred cyclists licenses due to drunk cycling, a sharp increase from last year. New traffic laws impose stricter penalties, including jail time and hefty fines, even for small amounts of alcohol. Over four thousand five hundred people were caught cycling under the influence between November 2022 and June 2023. Authorities are tightening regulations, including new rules next April that will fine cyclists for minor offenses like using phones or ignoring traffic lights.
