]]> Comment on How to get a drivers license in Japan by dink http://dink.imbermedia.net/how-to-get-a-drivers-license-in-japan/#comment-260 dink Mon, 16 Mar 2009 09:18:53 +0000 http://dink.imbermedia.net/how-to-get-a-drivers-license-in-japan/#comment-260 Ken, Since you didn't pick up an international drivers license before you came, the only thing you can do is go through all the steps above and take the One shot test for the small scooter class. If you pass the Kogata Nirinsha test (small two wheeled vehicles) then you will be able to ride up to a 150cc scooter with a passenger on normal roads. I believe you can also ride on the tollways with no passenger if you have a 150cc bike, but not with a 100cc bike like the one you purchased. It might be legal to obtain an international license if you hop a plane and go back to australia for a week or something... but that sounds like way more trouble than its worth. Ken,

Ok, so I want to apply for a scooter license to legally ride my 100cc scooter that I have recently bargain-hunted since I did not apply for an international license from Australia. But I have my Australian open class license for both car and bike. So, could you please advise of any appropriate steps I should take(hopefully the easiest/quickest way to go about this matter if any)? Or maybe it seems great if I can still apply for an intl license to Aus somehow since Im surely not going to stay more than the whole 1 yr period in Japan... nor can I anyway.

Was taking the written test with another lady today... and she somehow managed to fail. They made her come back another to take the written test again >.< >torA

Still haven`t made my way to Japan yet, but looks like I`m finally going this summer. To get the oogata licence, to I have to take the chuugata licence first? Will translating my (car) drivers licence to a Japanese one first make taking the bike licence easier? Thanks again! Hello again Matt!
