Anyone important in the world will always have a convoy of cars when travelling for protection.
The Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzō Abe is no different.
However, as he attempted to merge onto a motorway, the men in his convoy of cars took it into their own hands to ensure his protection.
It is definitely a new way to make sure joining the motorway easier.
The video shows three men leaning out of their car windows of the convoy cars.
Clad in white gloves, they signal to other cars to move over and slow down whilst the Prime Minister’s car joins the motorway.
The polite hand gestures calmly point out drivers, asking them to reduce their speed.
The cars obviously obey and slow to an almost halt until the leading car makes it onto the road.
Imgur users were notably impressed with the way in which the convoy dealt with the merge.
One wrote: “I’ll be disappointed if I visit Japan and it’s not as weird as the internet makes it out to be.”
Others knew it wouldn’t have been so simple in other countries.
Another commented: “Try Thailand, where they’ll shut down an entire stretch of highway when any of the royal family is travelling.”
Many other users from the US also stated similar problems, with entire motorways being shut when the President is travelling.
However, one video shows how not to overtake on a motorway.
A car was caught on dash cam attempting a dangerous move whilst driving.
The driver tries to use the emergency lane to overtake the rest of the traffic.
