hey drew thanks for the Upload.. Was the written form of the test in Japanese Only or could you get an English version of the written test?
@DrewHamilton4 жыл бұрын
I never took a written test as I already had my car license which I got from doing a straight conversion from my home country. Sorry I can't be of any more help here!
You all think this is easy? You should see here in Brazil. The most ridiculous test of all time. It's nothing like this, no limit too. You do an 8, some cones, a balance beam, and that is it (in some places you need to use the second gear for a brief moment and the turn signals). They don't even teach you how to use the breaks the right way. You do that ridiculous test in a 125cc and can ride a bigger bike right away. Plus you can lane split all you want. Now you can imagine Why there are so many accidents every day. On and the drivers... many don't know what they are they doing too. First world countries are really something else. Mayen there t hird world countries that do have better testes too, were you can at least learn something. I'm ashamed for being born in this shithole called Brazil.

Good video I've always wondered what the test was like
Just a quick question as I have my test in a few days. Hopefully this gets answered by then. Is this the exact course that everyone has to follow? The map with the poorly drawn line that I was given from the licensing center is a bit different from the course you have in the video. Which should I follow??
@DrewHamilton8 жыл бұрын
That was the course at the time, for unlimited bikes, at Fuchu. But that was nearly 4 years ago, so it may have changed. Better go with what they told you. What are the differences?
@denicefrieden18 жыл бұрын
Drew thanks for the speedy response! My test is tomorrow so I am scrambling for info. Here is what they gave me at the license center last month for my test. It doesn't even say when is what test (like uphill start or emergency stop) or anything like that! Here is the link: i.imgur.com/4YfcRAk.jpg I believe the route you did was this one? www.ne.jp/asahi/clark/zzr/bike/license/course.jpg So it is pretty different! If you have any info that would be great! Thanks!

JustFrieden Oh, I see. They've written "gaimen kirikae" (foreign license conversion) at the top of your paper. My understanding is that the foreign license conversion test is different from the regular one, so I guess that explains the difference.
@DrewHamilton8 жыл бұрын
Okay, so what they want you to do is pull out, go around the South end of the course ("pigeon avoidance"), turn right at the big road, through the traffic light, and then make a right into the "technique" section (balance beam, slalom, and bumpy road, same way I did in the video). Two rights out of the bumpy road and then into the crank course. Right out of the crank course and then into the S-shaped curve. 3 left out of the S-shaped curve, through the traffic light, then right, past pigeon avoidance, into emergency stop, then left to go up and then down the hill, then left from the stop sign at the bottom of the hill into the starting area. Seems like you don't have uphill start, because there aren't cones going that way, though I'm not sure.
@DrewHamilton8 жыл бұрын
Complete guess at this point but since you don't have "railway crossing" on your test and since "uphill start" is not marked at all, it's possible that they don't want you to do the emergency stop either.

@krayziesensei8 жыл бұрын
If you have a motorcycle endorsement in your home country and are just converting your license, the test is a little easier. The hardest part is memorizing the course. There's no time requirement for the shaloam or balance beam. You also don't have to do the bumpy road section. They are very strict. Over exaggerate when you check for traffic, etc.

Hey Im also converting my licence, for 400cc Medium Size, do you know that we have to do the emergency stop or not also? they don't give out any information before the test. Any help regarding this test is much appreciated!

I don't want to criticise anyone but to me it seems that you get the bike license if you just memorise the track course instead of showing that you can handle the bike itself. I mean, all I see is how the person shows if he/she can control the bike in slow speeds, but where is the biker supposed to show if he is capable of handing the bike in higher speeds and if he can perform an emergency high speeds. I really hope there is more to this test then this expensive looking test course that does nothing for the rider. And does the test taker get to show if he can ride the bike in traffic after this or do I get the bike license after a mere 6 min on this little test track? This is how the course is in Sweden: First you have to pass a small safety check, like go through the electric system, or the brakes, drive train, what ever the person in charge says you should check. Then it is on to the low speed test where you should not put down your feet at 2-4 km/h. Then it is time for the fast part where you have accelerate to 50km/H and ride slalom between cones, turn around and then slalom back between the cones and then you make a controlled stop. Then you take a emergency brake test from 70 and then from 90 km/h. When you passed all those small tests it is time to show of how well you can ride on the streets in traffic for about 30 min. If passed then you are a happy biker, poor but a happy biker :) I am not saying that Swedes do it better, not at all. Because it is expensive and quite hard but I do hope that what you showed is not the entire examine test. Cheers :D

+Pillokun obeying the law here in Japan is very important. they teach you how to drive properly and how to obey the law, so you can avoid accident by showing off that you can drive fast. you being careful on the road, not just saves you from any harm.. but other people too.

The test where the candidate needs to ride on the balance beam, and maintain it for 10 secs (7 secs in Malaysia, though) is good enough to demonstrate the candidate's bike handling skills. However, I still think that Japanese riding test is a kinda easy if compare with the Malaysian one.

I just came from Fuchu today. If I understood correctly the day has changed to Saturdays, the cost is Y2,200 and you can't use your own bike. And you need to make an appointment for a time slot to come practice. Have things changed in the year since this video was made?

Do they charge anything to run through the course? Also, do they have practice bikes available (for a fee or otherwise)? I'm studying for a kogata license right now, and there's a frighteningly small amount of information, and most people tell you spend the 400,000 for a driving school, but I'm not in a position to spend that much for a driving school. Thank you.
@2456tack10 жыл бұрын
I don't think there are any place that you can practice for free of charge. If you have a car license, you will pay school about JPY90,000 - JPY120,000 to get a motor bike license that allows you to ride up to 400cc. In that case you need to be able to speak Japanese. The school fee for Kogata, which you can ride not bigger than 125cc, makes about JPY30,000 difference. The school I went in Tokyo costs are ; If you don't have car license, For kogata JPY143,000 For 400cc JPY174,500 If you have a car license, For kogata JPY80,000 For 400cc JPY112,000 I live in Tokyo and costs seem to be quite different depends on where you live.

Thanks a lot for putting this video up. Bought a 100cc 'scooter' and only just realised I don't have the license for it! I'm an idiot. So gotta do this test.....can't believe it would have been a failed test. My confidence has been shot! But at least I know what sort of things I should be practicing. Thanks again, very useful. Oh.....how do you know where you're supposed to go when doing the actual test?!?

I already got my license; I was just using the course as practice to get used to the new bike. There is a 2,000 yen fee to use the course for an hour, and also 200 yen for insurance.

This is pretty cool I wish we had a similar course at the DMV here in the US. The only thing that I can even think of that is remotely similar is the Motorcycle Safety Course in California which if you take you don't have to take the DMV test. This probably means people in Japan can actually drive their motorcycles unlike some people I know.
