Personal-injury accidents involving foreign drivers in Saitama Prefecture Japan hit a record high of 558—triple the figure from five years ago.
Data revealed by the Saitama Prefectural Police to
the Sankei Shimbun
shows that personal-injury accidents caused by foreign drivers totaled 558 in 2025,
a roughly threefold increase from the 187 recorded in 2020.
Notably, the proportion of fatal or serious injury accidents involving foreign drivers exceeded the national average of 3.6%,
a trend driven by the rising number of foreign residents.
Calls for a review of #immigration policies and stricter regulations on the foreign license conversion system have emerged
on X (formerly Twitter),
with Saitama Prefectural Assembly member Kosuke Takagi also urging for a tightening of driver's license regulations.
With similar accidents on the rise nationwide, the government is set to strengthen requirements for converting foreign licenses starting in October 2025.
