News Summary:
The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) announced on February 5, 2026, that it will revise its Carnet de Passages en Douane (CPD) issuance and authentication fees, effective April 1, 2026, to ensure the continued and stable provision of its services. Previously, on January 27, the JAF Shimane Branch scheduled a "Child Seat Installation Inspection" at its branch from February 16 to February 20. This followed a survey by a research group of the International Society of Traffic Safety, published on January 27, which indicated that approximately 60% of children aged six and over use a school-age child seat on ordinary roads, and 70% on highways, when carried in a private car. Earlier, on January 15, the JAF Saitama Branch announced it would hold a practical training session, the "Driver's Seminar General Course (Half Day)," for drivers with one year or more of driving experience. This development came after JAF reported on January 13 that it handled 88,301 roadside assistance requests nationwide during the New Year's holiday period, from December 27, 2025, to January 5, 2026.
