[Tsuwabuki]

I did not have to look under the car. I did have to walk around the car and look for obstructions, which is silly if you have been waiting in line for half an hour and have seen the car go around in circles several times. You can be pretty sure there are no imaginary obstructions. BUT... it's Japan.

So, part if it is doing everything you normally do, but doing in grandiose, over dramatic, look at me I'm a terrible actor way. When I checked mirrors and my blind spots, I looked worse than when I played MacBeth as a ninth grader. Anyone with half a brain should have noted that I was being positively ridiculous in a way no one would do in real life, and would probably be MORE distracting to a driver.

But... it's Japan. Often the appearance of correct is more important than the reality of correct.
