For driving schools, transport operators and support organizations
Practice the Japanese license test in 3D, as often as you need.
The Samezu test course recreated in 3D, scored by deduction like the real test. Business plans for driving schools, transport companies and support organizations.
The pass rate fell to 13.1%
Since October 2025 the conversion test has a crosswalk task, and signals and turns are scored as strictly as on a new-license test.
