All Japanese, by the way, so I`m going to guess that it takes an average of 3 tries for ANYONE to pass - not just foreigners.

But hey, if you want to pull a racial discrimination card, feel free to do that.

As for the revenue, etc, etc conspiracies... Why not just NOT SPEED IN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA???
I never said racial discrimination... if anything it is still cheaper for foreigners who do not pay for driving school to get a license, and that is a good thing. Even if it is true that most Japanese who have gone through drivers school still take a few times to pass it does not cover the fact that the system is set up to make money, more so than it is to test skills as driver (as shown by the wonderful test).
