I often hear that Japan is the most leading country in Asia in the field of technology and in some other fields. The heritage, the culture, the historical places are well looked after.

I like Japanese traditional/classical arts, especially classical martial arts, like Iaido, Jodo, Kyudo, etc. From those arts, I learn a lot about the Japanese way of thinking, about respect and honor.

Unfortunately, in the other hand I found something teasing my mind very often. I live in a suburb within Fukuoka perfecture, almost everyday, I see someone throwing out a cigarette from his car, even, without putting it of, someone talking in the phone while driving, a car in front of mine turning right or left without using the blinker. Are these, just small cases or are they common elsewhere in other perfectures? Are there any rules regarding this matter?

Pls, share your ideas, information on this matter.
