Denied entry to Japan for previous speeding violation

Where are they sourcing their stories from? Looking forward to them finding geoexpat...

Don't think their audience is interested in luggage falling from the 15th floor and hitting one of our users.

Was reading they attempted to claim human-rights issue.
Think they were only at immigration for 2-hours before returning to HK.
They thought they can just claim travel insurance for hotel and restaurant bookings.

Just stupid people all round.

If you’re a tourist and commit a driving violation in a rental vehicle overseas, what actually happens?

Most people won’t know they’ve committed an offence unless they are physically stopped by the Police or they are informed by the car rental company when they’re returned back to HK.

Follow local driving regulations. In the case of Hokkaido:-

Legal speed limits are 60 km/h on normal roads and 100 km/h on expressways. If there is a speed limit sign in place then that will apply e.g. sign showing 50 km/h.

In Japan, speeding above 30 km/h is a major criminal violation and you’re issued a “Red Ticket”.

I assume only one person was denied entry. Why waste the hotel and flights? Just enjoy the trip without the person that’s been denied entry and cut your loss.

Don't know if this was the case, but with travel packages one of the conditions is that all participants must travel together for the entirety of the trip.

Too little information.
Speeding by how much? Ticket was paid? Any criminal follow up?

Know a guy that didn't pay a parking ticket in the US. Never managed to go back there.

I highly doubt it. You honestly think any country’s immigration deals with such mundane issues ?

Many speeding limits are set low in Japan and most people simply drive above the limit and slow down approaching radars. I guess someone took this speeding tolerance for a racing invitation... 50 above the limit is nuts!

they like to suddely drop speed limits by 20k (from 60km down to 40km) when you come near to a village, that catches alot of ppl.. and if you had been travelling at 80km, that drop to 40 or 30k would have hit you with a red speeding ticket.

Red ticket you need to appear in court and pay the fine there..
I guess he shld have done that otherwise they would have caught him and take him into custody..

In Germany the police stops you if you are driving suspiciously slow, especially on the Autobahn where a 100km/h is minimum, unless there is a speed limit that says otherwise
