******************************
Traffic accidents are always bad news, but in the last ten years, there has been some good news. The number of people who die in traffic accidents in Japan has been going down. In 2012, there were 4438 deaths, but by 2022, the number of deaths had dropped to 2610. The government hopes that there will be fewer than 2000 deaths by 2025. Why are the number of deaths going down? According to the government, there are many reasons. Drivers are being more careful and watching out for children and senior citizens. People are not drinking and driving, and cyclists are obeying the rules. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
