Japan is known for having most specialised aspects signature to the nation. In one such a list comes the Traffic Rule of 'not wearing clothing that would deter the safe driving of vehicles'. Anyone can be fined a ticket without any discrimination or any favouring. A Buddhist monk was driving his car wearing their traditional attire. A traffic police officer stopped him and fined him a 6,000 yen, i.e. about 4,000 rupees.
The officer stated that the man driving the car was wearing "constricting" robes. The description so written in the driving ticket was, "Driving in a Kimono that could affect safety". After one of their brethren was fined so doing the routine act, other Buddhist monks in Japan came in support of him.

Talking to the newspaper and the police as well, he was quoted saying that, 'safety was his top priority for 20 years of his driving, even when wearing a long robe'. On the contrary, the Kyoto-based Order complained against the police's strict implementation which is obstructing the monks to perform their religious duties.
