I understand the need for modernizing, but as article states: no vehicles
allowed 15 years, and older??

Would they be allowed with custom modern drivetrains????

Arragonis can probably answer those questions!

Is it really true that in Japan, or at least in their big cities that only vehicles
under 5 years old are permitted???? as anything more is considered totally
obsolete????

London's passing tests for being a cabbie, and Japan's strict be perfect,
or no motorcycle license retry for maybe a year ( don't know about cars?)
sounds very interesting. On the positive side, it would be nice to share the
roads here in America with other people who actually would care about how they drive!
