From 'OGK Kabuto,' which offers a lineup of various types of bicycle helmets, an announcement of the expansion of their materials provision page.
OGK Kabuto Co., Ltd. (Location: Higashi-Osaka City, Representative Director and President: Hironori Kimura), a pioneer domestic manufacturer of bicycle helmets, has expanded its WEB page, which compiles educational posters for bicycle helmet use and product images, etc., ahead of the revised Road Traffic Act (introduction of a blue ticket system for bicycles) to be enforced from 2026, making it widely available to the general public.
■ In April 2026, penalties for bicycle traffic rule violations will significantly change.
In recent years, the proportion of bicycle-related accidents in total traffic accidents has been increasing, and the increase in complaints regarding accidents with pedestrians and traffic rule violations has also become a social problem.
For this reason, the revised Road Traffic Act will be enforced from April 2026, and a "Traffic Violation Notice System (Blue Ticket)" that imposes fines for bicycle traffic violations will be introduced. (※1)
