The examiners check for exaggerated head movements when checking mirrors and blind spots.
Narrow courses like the "Crank" and "S-Curve" cause many drivers to hit the curb and fail instantly.
Without practice, passing is very difficult. Retaking the test costs time and money.
The Solution: Practice at Techno Driving School!
We are located in Kumano, but you don't need a car to get here. We have free shuttle buses running from major stations and areas.
Our driving course is spacious and designed to simulate real road conditions. You can practice the S-curve, Crank, and Crank turns—exactly what you'll face in the exam.
Our instructors will teach you the specific "Safety Confirmation Points" that Japanese examiners look for.
