"Ibaraki Dash" or "wrong right turn method" explained by the Ibaraki Prefectural Police

Like the dialect, it is said that the person who drives the car also has a habit of each region. Maybe some people have heard of "how to run with the name of the area" as if to express it. Ibaraki Dash official materials announced by the Ibaraki Prefectural Police on Twitter etc.! For example, something like "Ibaraki Dash", which was picked up by the Ibaraki Prefectural Police in August 3rd year of Reiwa on the official Twitter account and became a hot topic. It sounds like the local rules allowed in the area, but the true nature of such "local driving" is just dangerous driving and traffic violations. Yes, the reason why the Ibaraki Prefectural Police picked it up was "because it's dangerous"! Not only is it dangerous for other locals, but it is actually dangerous for the locals. Now, let's take a look at what kind of driving "Ibaraki Dash" is and why it is dangerous.

What is the reason why the Ibaraki Prefectural Police sent "Ibaraki Dash is a violation" on SNS?

According to a tweet from the official account of the Ibaraki Prefectural Police, "Ibaraki Dash" is the act of turning right before an oncoming straight-ahead vehicle with a fierce dash at the moment when the traffic light changes to a blue light. "(Ibaraki Dash) is a violation" means that it is a traffic violation, but the Ibaraki Prefectural Police suggests that there are three possible violations depending on the case.・ Intersection right / left turn method violation ・ Intersection priority vehicle obstruction violation ・ Ignore traffic lights (red, etc.) The name "Ibaraki Dash" was only talked about by people until then, but it has even appeared in the prefectural police official account. Therefore, it can be said that the Ibaraki Prefectural Police has officially recognized the bad habits bearing the name of Ibaraki. However, on SNS and the Internet, there were many harsh voices such as "Don't say the official!", "I don't care about the masochistic name", and "Increase the right turn signal". However, as a matter of fact, Ibaraki Prefecture tends to have more fatalities in traffic fatal accidents than other prefectures. As of the end of July, 3rd year of Reiwa, the number of deaths was 37, which was minus 7 compared to the previous year, but it is not a praise figure nationwide. In addition, Ibaraki Prefecture is a disgraceful topic, with the number of fatal accidents and fatalities caused by drunk driving becoming the worst in Japan for the second consecutive year. In order to overcome this situation, it is presumed that the topic was "Ibaraki Dash," which is familiar to the citizens of the prefecture, and called for traffic safety. The number of followers on the official account of the Ibaraki Prefectural Police is about 68,000 as of August 2021, but about 10 to 20 replies are sent to daily tweets. However, tweets about Ibaraki Dash have received more than 2000 likes and less than 3000 retweets and quoted tweets. Although there are many harsh opinions, many likes and replies to tweets from official accounts may help to repay the stigma of Ibaraki Prefecture.
