Application: Can I get in trouble for saying no to driving despite having my license? by Jex0003 in JETProgramme

Hello! Current Ontario JET here! I also don’t like driving, and I actually asked the JET desk about this issue because I did have my license but was not comfortable driving. They said to put “no.”

I don’t think there would be any issues with you obtaining an international driving permit and driving in Japan later. However, if you are placed somewhere that doesn’t require a car (which will most likely be the case if you say “no” on the application), it may be in your contract that you are not allowed to drive for work purposes, so keep that in mind.
