Why is it Illegal to have a dent in your car in Japan? -

In japan they got mad because the car had dents...and they were little DINGS!! wtf why they said you cant drive with ANY dents in your car...I DONT GET IT? why not?

I didn t know it was illegal, that sounds rather stupid.

Same reason it is where I live. Safety issue.. they say anyway. I can understand it hinders the structure of a car SLIGHTLY, as a straight panel is stronger than a dinged one, as in... almost nothing, but, what can you do? Fill it with bondo and say it s fixed.

same reason slirping is polite. There are so many cars they expect the opposite of whats expected - lots of dings. those scooters....
