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.

Hazard pictures

Each picture has three statements. On the real paper, the two points count only when all three are right.

0/11 learned

You are approaching this intersection at 30 km/h. The buildings block the side roads. What should you be careful about?

On the real paper, all three must be right or the picture scores zero.

1. The view is blocked, so you slow down enough to stop before the intersection and check both side roads.
2. Sound the horn and keep 30 km/h, because the horn gives you the right of way.
3. A car may come from either side road, so you check both, including the car that would be coming from your left.
