Japanese driver license
How do you get a driver license in your country? I have 2 licenses. One is in Japan, and the other is in US. When I compare these two, I can recognize some differences of the procedure, so I guess other countries may have unique procedures. I talk about Japanese way at this time.
The exam is for age 18 or over. In the beginning we have to go to a drivers' school. I don't know how many schools exist in Japan but around 70 schools in Tokyo. I went to one of them when I was 18. Usually it takes 3 months to graduate and costs around 300,000 YEN ($2,600 ). Do you think it's expensive? It is!!
Each school prepares certain programs for students. We study more than 25 hours and drive more than 30 hours. Instructors sit next to us during our driving. In the middle of the program we take an interim exam, which is for road trainings, and finally we can take a main exam. Each lesson has a short test. We must pass it, and then instructors give us their permissions. If we fail several times, additional fees occur.
Once we complete whole procedures, we need to go to DMV. They issue our diver licenses in hours. What do you think about the Japanese system? Some are the same as your way, and some are not.
