If you're bothered by the "don't play and drive" messages in Pokémon Go, read what happens when users ignore them.
Η Japan Times reports that one woman A 72-year-old named Sachiko Nakanishi was struck and killed in the city of Tokushima on Japan, by a driver who played Pokémon Go. In the same accident and a second walk, Kayoko Ikawa, 60 years, was badly injured. According to the Japan Times, driver Keiji Goo, 39, admitted to the police that he had been playing Pokémon Go when the accident occurred.
The Japanese government has already expressed concerns about the dangers associated with road safety by drivers playing Pokémon Go since the game was released in Japan on July 22.
The Japan Times reports that the CyberNatural Preparedness and Cyber Security Strategy has issued warnings on Twitter and Line, as well as that the warning messages have changed in the application.
Above you see the old message on the left and on the right the new message of the game.
The Pokémon Go game now offers several warning related messages when the player appears to be traveling at sufficiently fast speeds. When a user is seen on the GPS moving at a speed of more than 20 km/h then the warning "You are going too fast!" (Move too fast) appears on the screen and the game stops working until the player presses the “I'M A PASSENGER” button.
You may feel annoyed by these messages, but there is for a good purpose.
