I’m [...]

I’m a terrible driver in Japan.
So I have been driving everyday for a week now, and I have come to realize that in Japan I’m a terrible driver. More puzzling still I’m too safe of a driver.
I think this needs a little explanation…. besides stopping at red lights, there don’t seem to be too many [...]
