Tokyo police turned over to prosecutors Friday their case against a businessman who asked an employee to ride a U.S.-made Segway scooter on a public street, allegedly in violation of the Road Traffic Law.
Police allege that the 42-year-old president of an import company in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, violated the law by having a person drive a Segway on the street in July for advertising purposes.
It is the first time in Japan that police have taken action over a person riding the two-wheeled vehicle.
