Interesting, Kei cars seem like they're one degree closer to the "car" end of the spectrum than a golf cart, where they can be used on expressways and are likely a couple thousand pounds in weight.

Can Kei cars use the expressway? I thought they could only stay in the city? You would think Japan would be bad with pollution, but most days it isnt. Only the days the wind brings the pollution over from china.

Yes, seems like they can. I dont know if I would want to take one on the expressway, though. I feel the problem is that car companies are trying to make cars worth more, but giving the consumer less. Also, biking can not really be taxed since it is run on human energy. Money plays a role in everything.
