Students who come from countries in Southeast Asia and other regions learned about traffic rules regarding mopeds and electric scooters in Japan.

85 accidents involving electric scooters have been reported in the country’s capital so far this year.

Police called on the students to be aware of the importance of legal compliance in the use of the transportation method.
