It is the story of a certain person.
→ In the first world line, up until 1995, a regular driver’s license was OK for trucks with a payload of up to 2 tons. 3t, 4t, 5t were large-vehicle licenses. However, in 1996, the law was changed retroactively back to the late 1950s (the Shōwa 30s), and history was altered so that from long ago a regular license was OK up to 4.5t, and while there are various theories, 98% of Japanese had their memories overwritten, but 2% retained their memories, and some of those contacted 110 and other numbers and there was a flood of inquiries, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department created a special operations unit and responded in a way like putting people under hypnosis, saying “Your memory is wrong. Your memory is wrong. Yooour memooory is wrooong!” and when that was exposed on anonymous forums after the 21st century began, the Koizumi administration, taking the situation seriously, newly established a medium-sized truck license in 2007. By swapping payload and gross vehicle weight on the license, they effectively returned the regular license to payload 2t (gross vehicle weight under 5t). Three months later Prime Minister Koizumi was replaced by Prime Minister Fukuda. This whole series of behind-the-scenes circumstances turned into an urban legend on the internet, contradictions in the historical tables of text revisions began to be pointed out at license centers, and in 2017, in order to push out and hide the pre-revision history of the texts, a quasi-medium truck license was newly established, the regular license became up to a payload of 1.9t, and it is said the transport industry was thrown into confusion. Also pointed out are things like the expressway speed limit changing from 80 km/h to 100 km/h, and traffic violation tickets changing from a demerit-point system to an additive-point system.
