Before you start

These questions are based on the official Japanese handbook, 交通の方法に関する教則 (Rules of the Road), and the Road Traffic Act. Each question names the rule it comes from, so you can check it.

If you see a problem, write to pangz.lab@gmail.com.

If this becomes useful to you, a donation helps keep it available for foreigners in Japan who are learning to drive.
