Oh kei, then!
Oh kei, then!
The Registry of Motor Vehicles announced yesterday that rather than ordering cute litlte Japanese kei trucks and cars off the road, it will let them continue to putter around the Commonwealth. Read more.
I’ve seen a few of these on the road over the past week and was quite confused given their legal status. They are a good sight to see next to the monster SUVs and pickups I see all the time.
They’re everywhere in Japan, and they’re fantastic little workhorses. Great if you live in the city, but every once in a while need to haul something a bit heavy and bulky.
Absolutely not great for the freeway though, and I would NEVER take one of those on any interstate intentionally.
Glad they’re being sensible about it though, instead of just hitting them with a banhammer.
