In Japan, you can get a driver’s license at age 18.
I got my license when I was in high school.
In Japan, people attend driving schools.
Driving schools cost a lot of money.
For example, it costs about $2,241.
Schools also have a deadline, and you must graduate within six months of enrolling.
The process to get a license is also very strict, with multiple written and practical exams.
I think Japan is the only country with such a strict and expensive system for obtaining a driver’s license.
Even after you get your license, there are costs involved.
You have to pay to renew your license every few years.
If you have a traffic violation, the renewal period is three years, and if you have no violations, it’s five years.
Fortunately, I have never had a violation, so I am a gold driver.
I think you can see how expensive it is to own a car in Japan, with everything from driving schools to license renewals and vehicle inspections.
I think Japan is the only country that has such an expensive system.
