海外の反応-外国の運転免許証の切り替え試験合格率が日本で90%超から33%に急落

Foreign driver’s license conversion test passes plummet from over 90% to 33% in Japan
byu/SkyInJapan injapan

昨年5月、中国籍の人物によるひき逃げ事件が全国的な話題となり、同月にはペルー国籍の人物が高速道路を逆走する事案も発生した。これを受けて制度の見直しを求める声が政府に寄せられ、政府は10月1日から試験をより厳格化する方針を示した。

従来の筆記試験は、停止標識の識別などイラスト付きの10問で構成され、そのうち7問に正解すれば合格となっていた。現在では、筆記試験は50問に拡充され、イラスト問題に加えて、交通法規や事故発生時における運転者の責務に関する設問も含まれている。また、合格基準は正答率70%から90%へと引き上げられ、通常の日本人受験者が最初に受ける筆記試験とほぼ同水準となった。

Theres been a lot of quite anti-foreigner proposal recently but this is not one of them. This is one of the bigger problems that a lot of people living here have known about for a long time. Good move for once.

Indeed. “making the test about the same as the first written test that regular Japanese examinees must take” seems fair. The only concern is that the English version of the test (and presumably other languages) has some awkward translations that make it ambiguous what is actually meant.

海外のナナシさん

And to be fair, even the original Japanese questions can be worded awkwardly to be sorta trick questions (think, “Of the following, which is not unacceptable…?”).

海外のナナシさん

Honestly that is the simple part about the Japanese test, the moment certain words pop up you know it’s a trick question and you know the answer.

海外のナナシさん

That was not my experience with the awkwardly written test questions.

海外のナナシさん

I don’t really agree with that. Statistically foreigners had fewer accidents than Japanese, per capita. This was blown out of proportion extremely, and not to mention that the reason they did this (Chinese nationals registering a living address at a hotel) has nothing to do with the “solution”. This is pure populist propaganda.

海外のナナシさん

That might be because the whole of japan includes new drivers and bad drivers, whereas only drivers who already feel confident would even attempt to drive in another country. I doubt you would see new drivers or very old drivers attempting to drive in Japan first, who typically have the highest accident rates. But it’s not just about accidents but road harmony. Which group ends up driving on the wrong side of the road more often?

海外のナナシさん

Absolutely fair. Make it even harder, for everyone, honestly. There’s no place in society for ignorant, unskilled people operating motor-vehicles. That’s a recipe for disaster.

海外のナナシさん

Agree, I’ve been almost run over like 5 times in the last few months by drivers simply refusing to look both ways before completely overshooting a stop sign, white line, or even traffic light one time. It’s not just a foreigner problem, but a drivers license problem entirely. Since then, I’ve had to start taking a much more indirect path for genuine fear of my life.

海外のナナシさん

In certain places (rural residential areas with houses, sometimes fenced, built very close to each other) with no traffic lights or mirrors you kind of have to overshoot the white line a bit to even be able to see anything, BUT you do it super slow and keep your head on a swivel because yes, technically you are in the wrong for doing so. This also assumes that everyone else is following the speed limit in such areas (30 kph), otherwise they won’t be able to stop fast enough. Rolling down the window used to help, but with EVs/hybrids, not anymore, they are very quiet. What I’ve described, however, absolutely DOES NOT APPLY to assholes that just block pedestrian crossings or forget how turns and pedestrian crossings work in Japan (always look before you turn!), run a red light like it’s no big deal, and park their cars wherever they want. You can’t do that here. If it’s fine in your country, cool. Go back home or follow the local traffic law. Am a foreigner, been driving in Japan for over 10 years. Have seen it all.

海外のナナシさん

I don’t think the tests will do much to keep careless / reckless / bad drivers off the road. The Japanese version of the test is fairly difficult as is, it’s just that there are a lot of morons out there.

海外のナナシさん

I’m okay with them making it harder from a skills perspective, but they really need to make it easier from a scheduling and unnecessary amount of bureaucracy perspective. They need to make it not take months and months to get appointments for the driving exam, and they need to introduce some sort of escalating wait period for people that fail multiple times.

海外のナナシさん

Oh yes, absolutely agreed. Tougher rules and regulations in any part of society also need to match the bureaucracy complexity. If the government requires its people to follow certain rules and regulations, they must make them reasonable to follow.

海外のナナシさん

Especially in Japan where there are tons of other ways to get around. With the US the excuse that’s often used for letting people get away with being super irresponsible drivers is that getting rid of someone’s license fundamentally limits their mobility because the country is so car centric, but with Japan it really is a privilege and it’s reasonable to treat it as such.

海外のナナシさん

Indeed. Man, the US really is insane. I remember walking around in a town, forget the name, seeing a store I wanted to get to in the distance, but finding no way to actually get there on foot. I felt like I was going insane. I could literally see the store in the distance, but every single sidewalk just ended abruptly at a heavy traffic road. No crossings. Being forced to take a cab/bus or find a car to travel like 300m was ridiculous.

海外のナナシさん

As someone who drives trucks in Japan, they need these same failure rates for Japanese nationals. So many idiots on the road.

海外のナナシさん

I live in one of the prefectures with the worst drivers in Japan. Idk what Japanese people are doing in their tests, but it’s clearly not enough. Old people are driving far too long

海外のナナシさん

Isn’t the population of Japan just getting older. I imagine it would be hard to deprive them of driving when they make up such a huge chunk of the voter base.

海外のナナシさん

I’m not disagreeing with your point about idiots on the road, but the Japanese nationals have to pass with an over 90% score and 95 questions…higher than 50 questions.

海外のナナシさん

What does that have to do with actual driving implementation? they could’ve gotten a 100% and still drive like a maniac

海外のナナシさん

That’s why I said “I’m not disagreeing with your point about idiots on the road”. True, there are people who are good with tests but are sucky drivers. But the original comment implied that Japanese nationals are at advantage for the failure rates, when in reality it’s even harder because there’s more questions.

海外のナナシさん

The written test not being wildly easy is great, weeds out people who shouldn’t be driving. The real issue is if the already wildly strict proctors for the driving course will start to fail you for breathing incorrectly

海外のナナシさん

They probably felt like they had to make up for the fact that the written part was so easy.

海外のナナシさん

If you take your driving license from scratch here, you know how tedious it is and the passing score is 90% or above. I’m against raising visa renewal fees, but this one I agree with because it concerns safety for everyone here.

海外のナナシさん

Good, but I feel hit and run really isn’t a problem that can be fixed by making tests harder. It’s got nothing to do with skill.

海外のナナシさん

I think the [not] hit part has something to do with skill.
