Recently, social/public concern has increased with regard to problems involving traffic crime. It can be said that drunken driving is very dangerous and vicious. First of all, operating a car in itself holds the danger of causing serious injury or death to people. It is thought that one factor in this is that there are problems with applying charges of dangerous driving resulting in death or injury and with Road Traffic Law regulations. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to solve the problems concerning penal regulations for drunken driving. The study also aims to examine the state of political issues and the legislative system in Japan using as a case example a drunken-driving accident which occurred in Fukuoka in 2006.
