Is it true that in japan in you go more than 90MPH (180KPM) that the police wont bother chasing you?

Question

I heard this on the fast and the furious: tokyo drift and just wondered???

Answer 1

Of course it is true...why would they bother...this is Japan...we have technologies here you could only dream about!

Answer 2

Yeah i think you can go up to that speed after 12:00pm in the night, but it's not true that the police won't chase you because the police cars in Japan are quite advanced. However, Tokyo drift was not completely based on fiction, there are some facts in it that are true. You will find a number of japanese kids who do drive posh sports cars like the ones in the movie. I've been to Japan and have some relatives that live there.

Answer 3

Tokyo is not only the political and economical centre of Japan but it has also emerged as a centre of the world economy and culture so is a city worth visit; with hotelbye you will see more. There are a number of attractions in Tokyo that should not be missed. There are large-scale downtown areas, including Ginza where famous shops from around the world stand side by side, the sleepless Shinjuku that has become the "new city centre of Tokyo," Asakusa which is reminiscent of the traditional Edo (the former name of Tokyo) and Shibuya that starts the trends for the young people. Tokyo is an interesting city, a city that you will never forget once you visit it.

Answer 4

No, the police have Mitsubishi GTO and Nissan Skyline GT-R interceptors. They have special deflectors fitted to the hoods in case the people in the pursued vehicle toss objects at them.

In any case there are cameras that take photographs of offender's tags and then they get a summons in the mail. There are also roadblocks equipped with spike belts operated by the riot police. If they stop an illegally modified vehicle they rip the modifications off on the spot and send the offender home minus his fairings, etc.

Answer 5

Yes & no. Yes, you exceed 180 KPM and they won't stop
you but slowing down afterward is not an option; Police are not ignoring you, so sorry, as ground assets are all directed by one Command Net that recieves intel' from its aerial platforms that have heat seeking special optics that allow them to see everything warm from a hot pistol thrown off any bridge to all bodies departing abandoned vehicle in what is otherwise total darkness.

You lost any ability to hide. All you've earned is a fast ride until:
a) Accident occurs.
b) Fuel exhaustion occurs.
c) Lethal weapons are authorized.
d) Pit Manuver is authorized.
e) Do you need me to draw you a picture?

Answer 6

That's probably true in most cities. Chasing somebody at that speed, and in a city, is very likely to result in injury or death to innocent pedestrians. Much better to monitor by copter and set up road blocks.

Answer 7

This question has been asked over and over. That movie is just that. A movie. It is NOT based on any facts. Japanese kids don't zoom around in $200,000 sports cars. In fact, much of that movie was filmed in L.A. In many parts of Tokyo the streets are too small to go over the speed limit. Having any car in Japan is much more costly. BTW 1km = 1.6 miles.

Answer 8

These are Japanese police's interceptors.

Answer 9

90 MPH is not 180 KPH. More like 145 KPH.

Answer 10

90mph = 144kph

180kph = 112:5mph

Answer 11
