You're kidding! The Japanese driver has it absolutely drummed into them from day one of driving school that EVERY accident HAS to be reported to the police.

I don't have personal experience, but I have several (gaijin) colleagues who are bikers and who've had very minor accidents and been happy just to ride off with no harm done but who have been asked to stay and wait for the police by the Japanese drivers involved.
