The pass rate for Japan's foreign driver's licence conversion test fell to 42.8% in the first three months after stricter rules took effect, police said Monday. The figure marks a sharp drop from 92.5% recorded in 2024.
Between October and December, 11,716 of 27,354 applicants passed the written examination, which measures knowledge of Japan's traffic regulations, according to the NPA. Under the previous system, applicants could pass by answering seven of 10 questions correctly. Authorities tightened the test after lawmakers argued the standard had been too lenient.
