                    [Summary] => Nobuharu Tabata, president of Toyota Motor Philippines, recently revealed to this writer a very interesting tidbit regarding the issuance of driver’s licenses in his native Japan. According to Tabata, traffic violations in Japan have sanctions that directly affect the chances of a person obtaining a renewed driver’s license.
