As I felt at the time - the punishment doesn't fit the crime.300,000 Yen is a bit over 3000 bucks. A hefty fine for a minor traffic accident

I'm thinking about the Court costs plus the cost of the medical expenses given to the person you hit and think it sounds reasonable. When looking at it in an Australian context (if the roles were reversed), it would depend if he had medical insurance et al.As I felt at the time - the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
Considering the cess pool the internet is these days, I can only imagine the negative comments towards Dr Ron will be made by random keyboard warriors so if he chooses to do this, dont read the commentsI'm sure there's someone in the media around here that knows someone in the media who might wish to take up this story if @drron wished it.
Happy to take your word for it, but presumably the locals can read the documents thrust in front of them and told to sign. And equally presumably understand what’s been read out in court.There's been a lot of talk about different treatment due to being a foreigner and I'm not seeing it.
They classified it as a two-month injury, and the standard fine for an injury that is classified as requiring between 30 days and three months is 300,000 yen to 500,000 yen. So the fine ended up as the minimum.
Locals get imprisoned for serious accidents and detained for more minor ones while they are processed.

Then this treatment is awful for everyone. It did sound like one of the citizens had access to their partner whilst Drron did not and that would have contributed greatly to his stress. And mrrdron who was not advised of anything happening to her husband. The language barrier can't be underestimated.There's been a lot of talk about different treatment due to being a foreigner and I'm not seeing it.

Foreigners are treated differently as per my posts (and others). However i dont believe anyone mentioned that foreigners are treated differently before the law.There's been a lot of talk about different treatment due to being a foreigner and I'm not seeing it.
I’m sorry but a fractured clavicle is not a 2 month injury. Requires an outpatient visit and probably a sling fitted plus pain medication. It was obvious that the fracture was not displaced when I saw him immediately after the accident. The ambulance didn’t think it necessary to take him straight to a hospital. He would have needed to be followed up with 1 or 2 X rays. This was not a serious accident.There's been a lot of talk about different treatment due to being a foreigner and I'm not seeing it.
