Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

Drivers Turn Off Their Headlights At Intersections

This ritual is perhaps more common in the countryside of Japan, but it's still good for visitors and tourists to know, especially if they plan to drive around Japan. When vehicles get to a junction at night, it's not unusual for them to turn off their headlights. This is done so that the headlights don't blind the person on the other side of the junction when they turn.

It also shows how polite Japanese drivers can be, which is not something you see very often in other parts of the world. So, if you ever go to Japan and drive around, remember to switch off your headlights when you get to a junction at night.
