ALSA STシンガポールコミュのdiary 9

Hello, This is Toshihiro Takagi.
I'm in Nigata prefecture to get a car license now.
so these days I didn't attend to some ALSA meeting, very sorry for that.

Today I want to talk about the difference of car license ,Japan and other country.
First, I'll show you the case of Japan.
Now in Japan, we need to study for both paper and practical test.After pass the first paper and driving tests, we can get temporary license . The day before yesterday I got it. Before get this, I did 10 hours study for paper and 12 hours driving practice in the driving school.

And then, we have to practice driving on the public streets for about 20 hours. Of course paper classes are also held for 16 hours including rescue lessons.

After all, in Japan it takes 2 weeks and more. I think 2 weeks is so long because university students and office workers and so on don't have enough time to get this.

Second, I'll show you the case of USA.
The law of car license USA differ from state to state. For example, in CA everyone who pass the paper exam can get a temporary car license regardless how many hours he/she studied.

With temporary car license and CA residence driver we can drive on any public without normal license . To practice driving, we should prepare car for ourselves. It may be hard but very reasonable. So we need less money than in Japan.

In terms of study period, in Japan at least 2 weeks, in CA at least 3 days.
In terms of exam fee, in Japan we need about $2500, in CA $400.

Considering these things, CA people can get car license more easily than Japanese.
Some Japanese envy them, but how about the number of traffic accidents.To keep traffic safety, in other words not to happen car accidents, drivers should be taught traffic rules until some level.

So, I think to get car license in Japan is so expensive but it makes this country safety.
Education is so important.

Thank you.


Next charge will be Saori. Good bye＾＾ｂ
