Driving School in Okinawa and Taiwan

In this paper, I will describe three differences of driving school in Okinawa and Taiwan. First, the most striking difference is the charge in the driving school. In Okinawa, we pay the driving school to 25-30 thousand yen. In contrast, in Taiwan, they pay 3 thousand yen for the driving school. Hence, this is the second difference; the term of going to driving school is different. In Okinawa, we generally take a month to get a driver’s license. On the other hand, they take a week to get it in Taiwan. The reason why they can get it at short term is because they have no studying the rule of the road class. Of course, we have the classes in driving school in Okinawa, this is third difference. From these comparisons, we can infer that many accidents could happen in Taiwan because not all Taiwanese know about the road safety rules. Probably, the happening accidents rate in driving a car in Taiwan would be higher than Okinawa’s rate. Therefore, the cheaper charge and more quickly finishing going to driving school is not necessarily convenient for bringing safety drivers.
