Hannah passed her road test! Next week she has to go to the drivers license center to take her written test, then she will have her drivers license! Finally! She should have finished this in the middle of September but between a typhoon and being sick the test date kept being put back!
One of my friends was asking about driving schools here in Japan. There are two ways to get a license, one is by going to the driving school for lessons when you have time, these can take a few months depending on your schedule. The other is an intense residential course, which takes two weeks. Both Mikey and David did it that way, so Hannah decided to do the same. I feel it's easier as you are focused on driving and nothing else. The first few days you learn how to drive on a course belonging to the school. This is off road but has the same basic lay out as roads, with the road signs and crosswalks to navigate through. Once you have got the hang of it you take a test on there and a written test to get a drivers permit to go on the streets. You are then allowed on the streets basically practicing every day. I think Hannah had between two to three hours of practice a day. Also, there are videos to watch about road safety. Just before the road test you get to drive on the highway. Hannah enjoyed that, zipping along at 100KPH! It's expensive, especially the residential course. I think Hannah paid just over 2000 pounds. This was her money from working at the local cram school. Now she is saving to get a car!
