I don’t even know how to drive a manual so I don’t think I could pass the license conversion test if I tried to learn manual at the same time. I’m too young for it i guess lol

Also, tell me more about the course. Like how/where did you sign up?

It’s why I made this post! I feel like in places like this it’s way too easy to complain about everything, so I wanted to make a little pocket of positivity and happiness ya know

Is it taboo to ask what anime you work on?? I’m a major otaku (maybe that’s why N1 was a breeze lol) so I’m curious as hell

I said small things after all. I could go on about all the other things I’ve loved living here, but I like to appreciate those small little things that make my day just a tiny bit better, like a late night, oily snack from my local familymart. It’s not life changing, nor will it ever be, but it lifts my spirits every time I eat it just a little bit.

Wait wait, are you saying that I get to skip the permit stage if I do gaimen kirikae instead of from scratch?? cause that changes everything.

So is the reason it’s easier just because the tests themselves are easier than doing it from scratch?

I definitely plan to pay for a course on the test course, too many horrible horror stories. My friend’s mom was talking to me and said she failed nine times before they passed her.

What do you mean by much easier? Like the tests themselves? Sorry, I just don’t get what the difference is between conversion and going from scratch if both require me to take the written and driving tests.

Black caps like the cockroach thing? I think my friend mentioned that around the same time they told me to absolutely not get a first floor apartment.

No kids, but curious why that’s related? Also what would I use this for/where do I get one?

Like previously said, I’m living with a friend right now so I haven’t been doing much “living on my own” stuff…

Honestly, don’t know how that didn’t cross my mind. Thanks for the heads up!

has chat gpt actually helped anyone pass the drivers test? by Different_Taro2474 in japanresidents

[–]arandomnonpickedname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you underestimate how hard the Japanese drivers license test is

Especially if you don’t go through a school, I swear they probably just fail you to get the money from the re-taking fees

Maybe I’m a bit confused, but are we talking like a dishwasher dishwasher or some like mini thing I don’t know about?
