might not be necessary, but extremely helpful. keep in mind, thats most likely in japan. the streets are crowded as hell, space is extremely limited, and traffic is a bitch. having those markers can only help. its hard to understand unless you experience that kind of traffic for yourself. in taiwan nearly every car i saw had its bumpers scratched up on the corners
I guess i am truely American, and enjoy my space throughly.
And if you go into any city, you'll see bumpers that are all banged up. But i see your point.
