News Summary:

The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) is driving increased usage of child restraint systems, particularly for children aged six and above, where usage remains insufficient despite the Road Traffic Act mandating them for those under six. Previously, on February 5, JAF announced a revision of its Carnet de Passages en Douane (CPD) issuance and authentication fees, effective April 1, 2026, to ensure the continued provision of its services. This follows a "Child Seat Installation Inspection" conducted by the JAF Shimane Branch from February 16 to February 20, which began on January 27. Earlier on January 27, a survey by a research group of the International Society of Traffic Safety revealed that approximately 60% of children aged six and over use a school-age child seat on ordinary roads, with usage rising to 70% on highways. On January 15, the JAF Saitama Branch held a practical training session, the "Driver's Seminar General Course (Half Day)," for drivers with one year or more of driving experience.
