Violations

The statutory conduct categories, with their amounts and points. Category wording is the statute's own.

Read alongside

The two tickets

Blue ticket, red ticket — the colour IS the legal category

aokippu 青切符 (blue)

hansokukin 反則金

Road Traffic Act, Art. 125 onward (the traffic-violation notification system)

An administrative track. Pay the stated amount within the deadline and no prosecution follows. It is not a criminal record.

akakippu 赤切符 (red)

bakkin 罰金

Road Traffic Act, Chapter 8 (penal provisions)

A criminal track. A court sets the amount within the statutory range. There is no fixed schedule to read it off.

This is not a "bakkin"

bakkin 罰金hansokukin 反則金 / hōchi-ihankin 放置違反金

罰金 (bakkin) is the criminal-law word. What you pay on a blue ticket is 反則金 (hansokukin); what a vehicle's registered user pays for an abandoned-parking case is 放置違反金 (hōchi-ihankin). Neither is a bakkin. The searched word is the wrong register, and this page names the one that actually applies.

Two tables

The ceiling table and the amount table

Two tables govern a hansokukin. The Act's own Appended Table 2 states CEILINGS; the Cabinet Order's Appended Table 6 states the AMOUNT actually payable. They partition vehicles differently.

An open question

The two tables do not partition vehicles the same way

The ceiling table splits vehicles into 大型自動車等 / 普通自動車等 / 小型特殊自動車等. The amount table splits them into 大型車 / 普通車 / 二輪車 / 原付等. Neither the number of classes nor their names agree.

And neither instrument says the two partitions correspond. This site therefore has no function that reads one partition into the other. The two tables are printed side by side and their rows are never joined, because nothing in the statutory text licenses the join.

The question is recorded in the payload, and the record is reproduced below in its own words. Not having an answer is written down as not having one.

The vehicle wordings the ceiling table uses

7 distinct wordings
  1. 大型自動車、中型自動車、準中型自動車、大型特殊自動車、トロリーバス及び路面電車（以下「大型自動車等」という。）
  2. 普通自動車等
  3. 小型特殊自動車、原動機付自転車及び重被牽けん引車以外の軽車両（以下この表において「小型特殊自動車等」という。）
  4. 大型自動車等
  5. 小型特殊自動車等

These two columns are NOT a correspondence table. The rows beside each other have nothing to do with each other, neither instrument states that the two sets cover the same ground, and this site carries no function that converts one into the other. What is listed is the WORDING each table actually uses, not a count of its classes: neither table words its classes uniformly from row to row, and rows that define a term sit beside rows that use the defined term.

This page does not map the ceiling table's vehicle classes onto the amount table's. Neither instrument states the two partitions as co-extensive, so the question is recorded rather than answered. The payload's own note follows, unedited.

The payload's own note, verbatim (an instrument name in 【 】 is this site's)

NOT settled here, and a page that resolves it is asserting something neither instrument states. 【道路交通法】別表第二's 3-way vehicle partition (大型自動車等/普通自動車等/小型特殊自動車等, itself non-uniform between conduct categories) and the 反則金 amount table's 4-way partition (大型車/普通車/二輪車/原付等, ALSO non-uniform row to row) are never stated as co-extensive by either instrument. A page that computes "which ceiling applies to my 反則金 amount" by matching vehicle-class LABELS across the two tables is making an inference neither instrument states.

How the catalogue works

Reading the amount table

The table on this page is the Cabinet Order's own schedule of conduct categories and the amount payable for each. The category wording is the statute's, quoted rather than summarised — a shortened statutory category is a different category, and some of these read awkwardly precisely because they are exact.

Each category is priced by vehicle class, and the classes are the amount table's own. Most categories split four ways, but not all: several collapse the top classes together, a couple merge two of the middle ones, and the last states a single amount for every vehicle at once. The schedule is not uniformly shaped, and this site does not reshape it to look as though it were.

There are 20 categories in total. The pages linked above group them by subject, so a reader who knows what happened can reach the relevant rows without reading the whole schedule end to end.

Two tables, not one

The ceiling lives in a different instrument from the amount

A hansokukin is governed by two instruments at once. The Act sets a ceiling for each class of violation; the Cabinet Order sets the amount actually payable within that ceiling. Reading only the Cabinet Order tells you what is owed, but not what constrains it.

The two tables do not describe conduct the same way. The Act's ceiling table names each row by pointing at a criminal provision of the same Act — the conduct is identified by the offence it would be if prosecuted. The Cabinet Order's amount table names its rows descriptively instead.

That join, from a descriptive category to a criminal provision, spans two instruments and is set out in full in neither. It is why this site keeps the two tables visibly separate rather than presenting one merged schedule, which would imply a correspondence the law never states.

The two tables also partition vehicles differently, and this site does not convert between them. That question is recorded on the page as an open one rather than answered, because neither instrument answers it.

The third table

Points are a separate lookup again

The amount table carries no points. Points come from a different appended table in the same Cabinet Order, so where a category page shows both, it is showing two lookups side by side — never two columns of one table.

Some conduct in the points table has no matching amount category, and some amount categories have no points row naming the same conduct. Where a page shows one and not the other, that is the tables' own shape and not an omission.

And a fourth register sits outside all of this: the abandoned-parking charge, which is billed to a vehicle's registered user rather than to a driver, and carries no points at all. It has its own page under parking.

What this system does not cover

What this site does not answer, and why

These are content, not gaps. Each is a bounded statement that a NAMED instrument does not contain something — never a claim that "the law is silent".

Death and injury by driving is a different Act

The Act on Punishment of Acts Causing Death or Injury by Driving was amended by the same Act that amended the Road Traffic Act (Act No. 52 of 2026), but its offences and penalties are its own. This site has not transcribed them. A case involving death or injury is outside this calculator.

  • 自動車運転死傷行為処罰法, in force 2026-07-21
The payload's own note, verbatim (an instrument name in 【 】 is this site's)

自動車運転死傷行為処罰法 (death/injury-by-driving offences) is vendored in the corpus and was amended by the SAME act that amended 道路交通法 on 2026-07-21 (令和八年法律第五十二号) — but its own offence/penalty structure is a SEPARATE instrument and is not transcribed into this payload.

The summary-trial procedure is a different Act

The Summary Trial Procedure Act for traffic cases governs HOW a minor traffic case is disposed of. It is procedural and carries no amount of its own, so it is not modelled here. Its ceiling and this offence's own ceiling are two different figures.

  • 交通事件即決裁判手続法, in force 2026-05-21
The payload's own note, verbatim (an instrument name in 【 】 is this site's)

交通事件即決裁判手続法 (the summary-trial PROCEDURE for minor traffic offences) is vendored — procedural, carries no rate figure of its own, and is not modelled here.

Minimum speeds are not transcribed

【道路交通法施行令】Minimum speeds are set by Cabinet Order Art. 27. Arts. 11 and 12 only point at it ("the next Article" / "the preceding Article"); the figure itself is not within what this site transcribed. It was read, and not taken.

最低速度 (minimum speed, expressway mainline — 第二十七条 and neighbours, referenced in passing by 第十一条/第十二条's own cross-references) is a separate figure this fixture did not extract.

Not every Chapter 8 article is covered

【道路交通法】Chapter 8 of the Road Traffic Act (Arts. 117–122) holds more articles than the ones this site joined to the hansokukin ceilings. Only the articles that Appended Table 2's own rows name are transcribed. Arts. 117 and 122, and Arts. 118-2 and 118-3, are referenced by no ceiling row and are not transcribed.

  • 道路交通法 (Act No. 105 of 1960), 第八章 罰則（第百十七条―第百二十二条） — consolidation in force 2026-07-21

Chapter 8 (第百十七条～第百二十二条) has MORE articles than the eight this fixture joined to jpFinesCeiling.

For a juvenile, the family court sets the amount

【道路交通法】Under Road Traffic Act Art. 130-2(1), second sentence, where a case reaches a family-court hearing the amount is set by that court within the Act's own Appended Table 2 ceiling. There is no fixed schedule figure to read off, so this site states none.

第百三十条の二第一項後段: when a juvenile's case reaches a family-court hearing, the court MAY order 反則金 payment on its own schedule, and the AMOUNT is then set by the family court itself — "その反則金の額は、第百二十五条第三項の規定にかかわらず、【道路交通法】別表第二に定める金額の範囲内において家庭裁判所が定める額とする" — within 【道路交通法】別表第二's ceiling, but not read off any fixed schedule figure this fixture can transcribe as a number.

The mitigated floor is not stated

Penal Code Art. 15 carries a proviso: on statutory mitigation grounds a court CAN sentence below the floor. This site states only the un-mitigated floor and does not model when mitigation applies.

  • Penal Code, Art. 15, proviso

Expressway mainline default speeds are out of scope

The default speed on an expressway mainline is set by Cabinet Order Art. 27, which this site has not transcribed. The general-road figure is never reused for it. On an expressway, enter the posted limit.

  • Cabinet Order, Art. 27

No alcohol or BAC classification

This site's calculators do not classify alcohol readings. There is no verified threshold table here to drive one, and producing a number without it would be the opposite of accuracy.

  • Not transcribed into this site's payload

No "will I lose my licence" prediction

Suspension and revocation from accumulated points are set by the Cabinet Order's Appended Table 3 together with Road Traffic Act Art. 103. Both were read; neither is modelled. There is no such calculator here.

  • Cabinet Order, Appended Table 3 / Road Traffic Act, Art. 103

Nothing in the material this site read carries rules specific to foreign licences or cross-border drivers. This English bundle is a translation of the same claims and makes no additional ones.

  • Not transcribed into this site's payload

Where to physically pay is not stated here

What the statutes give is the deadline and the no-instalments rule. Counters, banks and opening hours are not sourced, so they are not written. Follow the instructions printed on your own notice.
