【No. 0573】Traffic Rules of Horses

Jul 13, 2016 18:45
In Japan, horses are treated as light vehicles that contain bicycles.

If you ride a horse on a road after you drunk alcohol, you will be punished as a drunk driving.

If you ride a horse on a road after the horse drunk alcohol, you will be punished as a poor maintenance.

Of course, you will be punished when you ignore a red light, have no signs or lights at night, and turn right/left with no signs.

These rules for horses are the same as those for cows, other animals, and rickshaws.

By the way, the word "rickshaw" comes from the Japanese word "jinrikisha."

("Jin" means a humen, "riki" means a power, and "sha" means a car.)
馬の交通ルール

馬は日本では、自転車と同様に軽車両として扱われます。

飲酒して道路を走れば飲酒運転になり、馬に飲酒させて道路を走ると整備不良で罰せられます。

勿論、信号無視や夜間の無灯火、右左折の合図の怠りなどでも違反になります。

牛や他の動物、人力車などでも同じだそうです。

ちなみに、人力車を意味する英語の "richshaw" は、日本語の人力車(jinrikisha)から来ています。
