An information leaflet for foreign drivers compiled by the JAF Shimane Branch, titled “We asked foreigners living in Japan about the differences between driving a car in their home country and in Japan” has been posted on the following page.

It contains useful information such as precautions on four themes: “Pedestrian crossings,” “rear seat belts,” “how to use the horn,” and “intersections with poor visibility,” as well as road service, Japanese traffic rules, and links to the JAF homepage for applying for a Japanese translation of your driver’s license.
