Sumo Wrestlers having problems with driving... Who would have guessed?
 

Professional Sumo wrestlers in Japan are considering asking the Japan Sumo Association to give them permission to drive.
One of their own was recently suspended, sekiwake Kyokutenho, for driving. The current leader of the wrestler's association is a non-Japanese, Yokozuna and ongolian-born Asashoryu, A member of the Oshima stable, Kyokutenho (also Mongolian-born) was suspended for one tourney and demoted one rank after he was involved in a minor car accident. The association has made no recommendations and emphasizes that they are only discussing the matter... mostly for rekishi who have families.
Of course, if the wrestlers do get their way, a bigger problem will be what they will drive. Maybe Toyota Motors can design a hybrid dump truck with a handle in the dump.
Would you like to ride in a car with a driver who cannot reach his backside or his toes much less bend over to reach a gas pedal or the brakes?

haha.. poor guys..

im just thnking of how are they going to fit between the seat and the stirring wheel!

1st of all they buy a SUV, then they rip out the front seats... :D :D

bahahahaa...

and do they use sticks to step on the pedals?

No... they have their strong force of will and determination... you can move mountains with your force of will.. not even speaking about some pedal :D

hahaha.. ya sure! im sure they can fly using their so called will! or may be shrink themselves so theyd be able to drive a normal car!

How about getting a van,they can make all the seats backwards/side ways in the 2nd and 3rd row.

Oh gawd...lol..wonder what the next news report will be?

"Professional Sumo-wrestlers having trouble Canooing." :D

hahahhahaha im sorry i cant help but find this really funny haha sowiiiii XDD

Sorry, but these guys are not THAT huge. I`ve seen normal people driving around in the US who were much much larger than any sumo wrestler I have ever seen in Japan.

The problem here is *tradition* - nothing to do with physical capability.

Yes many fat people drive here too!It's not really a problem,I guess.:confused:

It's thoughs darn japanese cars, so small!
