The instructor is very kind. I like the way he applaud his hand whenever he got it right. Kudos to the Japanese instructor.

I think so too. He is very kind and encouraging.

One important tip is when you make a turn always first do a bike check and then get to the left or right within your lane before you make the actual turn.

I just wish my teacher can speak Japanese slowly like the teacher in video😂

At 3:15, when you turned you turned the steering wheel underhanded. That can and probably will fail you so don't do that.

[@halsmypal]

Thanks for the tip. I got a lot of comments from the instructor after that video was cut.

[@Sunny21083]

I think this driver has enough driving experience in his country. He is learning the JAPANESE SPECIAL driving way which is a little ridiculous . I was driving buses for 30yrs. in USA. But getting a car license in Japan is difficult. I had a licence in Japan 40yrs.ago.

[@halsmypal]

True. It's more of a ceremony than a test. If you think of it that way, you'll be fine.

[@Sunny21083]

@@halsmypal Do you have truck driving experience in you country ? The way you turn the stirring gives me that feeling.

[@halsmypal]

No, I don't, but I have some experience driving cars without power steering, so maybe that's where I got that technique.

[@MD-xl1sq]

I can understand why they’re a little extra cautious because there’s a lot of motorcycles, moped and bicyclists in Japan but I agree. I doubt anybody actually drives that way in real life.

I totally agree with everyone. You were blessed with a kind instructor. I went there to practice too and I got a sour old man who if he could, he would have yelled at me for asking a question >.

2013年に初めて日本に引っ越したとき、これをしたことを覚えています。最初の試みで合格しました。

[@janetmc]

if the examiner will require you to speed up and you did not go fast, will you fail the test?

[@halsmypal]

The only time that would happen is if you were to move too slowly, like by not stepping on the accelerator and letting the car creep all the time. In that case, yeah, you'd have to follow the examiner's instructions.

Currently taking driving lessons with non conversational Japanese level. I am really having a hard time. I am studying English driving books while the instructors are speaking Japanese. I understand some but most of the time I dont. I am so scared them.

[@halsmypal]

Take it easy and think about the fundamentals. There are more cyclists in Japan than in most other countries so you may have to pay a bit more attention to them, especially when turning. Also, don't be afraid to verify your understanding. You're paying for driving lessons so you better get your money's worth!

[@andystark7622]

I was horrified! The guy is driving with one hand on the wheel on the corners. He could pass a forklift drivers licence in the U.K. but not a driver’s licence. This test seems open to abuse too! If the instructor likes, you pass. In the U.K. you learn on the road and for starters rule one is ‘be in command of the vehicle’. Meaning, both hands on the steering wheel. No wonder there are so many traffic deaths in Japan. Because I drive well my wife and son are still alive after hitting black ice on our way home to Tokyo from Tochigi. That course does not make a good driver!!!

[@mannylaza4938]

Plus he's driving too fast when turning left or right. The instructor says 'slow down' a thousand times! I wonder how many times did he take this test before he passed.

[@MD-xl1sq]

In the United States you get a learners permit before you take your driving test which enables you to drive on public roads as long and you’re with a licensed driver that’s 18 or over. That way you can practice driving before you take the test. In Japan you have to pay a lot of money to go to a driving school before you get any actual driving experience.

[@mastercko]

I think "so many traffic deaths" is a bit hyperbolic. According to Wikipedia, Japan has 4.1 traffic-related deaths per 100,000 people. The UK's rate is definitely lower, with 2.9, but in the grand scheme of things, Japan's is not really bad (the US has 12.4 and there are countries on the list with 30+, which is crazy.)

[@rohp1283]

Great video. Tks. 1. Does the steering have to be held at the 10 to two position? 2. In the crank and S curve, does it matter if the car goes to much to the left or right but still does not hit the curb? Tks

[@halsmypal]

1) They're not very strict on the position of your hands, as long as both hands are on the wheel. On straight roads, my hands are at 9 and 3, sometimes 8 and 4, never 7 and 5 (too low). As long as both hands are on the wheel, it'll be fine. Related to hand position and turning, the push-pull method, it's difficult to execute smoothly. As long as you demonstrate good control of the vehicle, you'll be fine. Just don't do anything crazy like stunt driving with one hand on the wheel and another on the handbrake. 2) The curves are very tight. There isn't much space for you to go too far to either side, so they don't pay attention to the distance between the car and the curb too much. On turning, what's important is to be on the correct side when you're making turns. For example, when turning left, you shouldn't stray too far from the left curb. Maintain the distance to around 60cm. One of the reasons, I was taught, was to discourage cyclists from entering that space and t-boning your vehicle as you make a turn. One more tip is always make a full stop at stop signs. Miss it once and the test is over. Please remember to do this in real life, outside the test track too. :)
