A Chinese woman in her 30s studying in Japan was stopped by police in Osaka's Kohna district for riding an 'electric suitcase,' violating road traffic laws by driving without a license, marking Japan's first crackdown involving such a device. The woman purchased the electric suitcase from a Chinese online platform and denied the charges, claiming she didn't think it was a vehicle and didn't need a license. The electric suitcase, often used in airports, is not common on Japanese public roads due to safety standards and lack of headlights. This incident is the first case in Japan involving a violation of traffic laws using an electric suitcase.
