Got up early today and headed to Samezu with all my paperwork for my driving test. It was cool cause on the train this morning I saw the commercial with me on the train. Anyhow, I got to the test center and checked in. All the foreigners are put in a group since we are all changing from a foreign licence to a Japanese licence. The course is a little different from the Japanese course in that it's simpler since everyone should already ave more than 6 months of driving experience in America. After an explanation from the instructor we each took turns driving a 2004 Lancer through the course. If you want a licence that allows you to drive manual transmission you have to take the test on a manual car. You get to ride in the back for the test of the person taking it before you to get a feel for the track.
If you don't pass you get a yellow slip are told what you did wrong and then you can reschedule to retake it. I did ok, but kept on hitting the windshield wipers when trying to signal for turns and took the corners faster than the evaluator would have liked. I rescheduled for next week and headed home. In the evening I had work like usual.
