So cheap. Comparing to Germany.

Well, I mean Japan has almost half the GDP per capita than Germany and the mentioned fee is the minimum in a rural area (a place where driving becomes essential), not Tokyo where it's considered the ultimate privilege bestowed upon from the heavens and costs more.

yes but maybe it’s still cheaper in DE than the time cost of learning JP

it’s cray cray that in non Schengen foreigners can drive 90 days im Germany with their foreign issued driving license, but natives are subject to insane whims of the driving Schule…

They traded my Canadian license for a German one. No tests required. I didn’t even now about the priority signs. I learned most of it when I did my motorcycle license later.

Some natives have started to make "driving Schule" in foreign countries.

		That loophole has been closed years ago by requiring classes and tests in your country of residence. I believe that’s the case since almost a decade, but I could be wrong.
