Summary: Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You are so late to work! You have had this problem almost every day since you arrived in Japan. For some reason you thought maybe if you rented a car and drove yourself to work you could get there on time. What were you thinking? Flashing lights!?!? Great! That's all you need now! You'll be lucky if you get to work by lunchtime now. The officer approaches your window, pulls his sunglasses down, peers questioningly into your eyes, and asks in Japanese, "Sir, did you see the sign back there?" Umm…you answer in Japanese, "No? I didn't see the sign, officer. I'm not from Japan and I'm not very good with the signs yet." Looking shocked that you would say something like that to him, he replies in Japanese, "If you can't read Japanese signs, you shouldn't be driving in Japan! In fact, there are signs to protect pedestrians in Japan, too!" Realizing your careless mistake, you ask the officer what you can do. He replies in Japanese, "I'm sorry sir, I am going to have to sentence you to watch JapanesePod101.com's Everyday Kanji Video: Traffic Signs.
