Driver's License


How do you go to school? By train, by bus, by car? Did you know that many American students drive to school? It's true! Students can get their driver's license when they are 16. High schools have a special driver's course for students and have cars for them to practice with on a special course and on the regular roads with their teacher.
Getting a driver's license is easy. It takes about an hour to take a written test and then a driving test with a policeman. The cost is usually less than $30. Most people pass without any trouble.
Would you like to drive to school? Do you think it would be a good idea for high school students in Japan to drive cars? What problems would this cause? Think about these points while you listen to this conversation between a father and his daughter who has just gotten her driver's license
