Life in China, 1.Driver's license in China Basic knowledge

1.Driver's license in China Basic knowledge

Japanese people driving cars in China are unusual. As a reason,

1. We are not familiar driving in a right side with left handle, that is opposite to Japan

2. Pedestrians and electric bikes in China do not obey traffic signals and are dangerous

3. There are many traffic jam in the city area

4. There is a language problem, we can not respond in the unlikely event, and we are not familiar with insurance content etc.

5. Taxi fare is cheap

And for another big reason,

"Japan motor vehicle license, even international driving license can not drive in mainland China"  For these reasons I feel a disadvantage over the merit of driving a car. Certainly, public transportation has been developed in the city area, so it is true that there is no merit to dare to drive a car. However, there are things that you do not understand if you do not drive a car in Japan. In the same way, you may feel various things by driving a car even in China. Even if you do not go to the point where you actually drive, you will not get inconvenienced by acquiring a license, so if you are interested and have time, try to get a license.
