I wish all countries were as strict as Japan when it comes to issuing drivers licenses, it would keep a lot of people who should not be driving off of the roads. In America you need only pay $10 or so, take a one-page written test, and a 5 minute driving test; as a result, you end up with streets full of incompetent drivers. I'm not saying that Japanese drivers are all that skillful, but at least the driving schools and licensing system in Japan encourage one to be serious and safe when behind the wheel.
