TOKYO: Cyclists using a mobile phone while riding in Japan could face up to six months in jail under strict new rules that entered into force on Friday.
Those who breach the revised road traffic law can be punished with a maximum of six months in prison or a fine of up to 100,000 yen ($660). “Making a call with a smartphone in your hand while cycling, or watching the screen, is now banned and subject to punishment,” a National Police Agency leaflet says.
