笨鸟先飞[bèn niǎo xiān fēi]

先週の週末に運転免許証の更新に行ってきたんだ。青からゴールドになったの！うれしい～！てか、みんなは日本の免許証には3種類の色があるの知ってる？運転者がどんな人かわかるように色分けされてるんだよー！

I went to renew my drivers license last weekend. It went from blue to gold! I'm so happy! Did you know that Japanese driver's licenses come in three different colors? They are color-coded to show what kind of person the driver is!


免許証には緑、青、ゴールドの3種類があって、その人の運転経歴と違反歴で色が分かれるんだよ。新しく免許をとった人は緑で、スピード違反とか事故とか何か違反があった人は青になって、5年間無事故・無違反だった人はゴールドになるよ。

There are green, blue, and gold, and the color is determined by a person's driving record and violation history. Newly licensed drivers are green, those with speeding tickets, accidents, or other violations are blue, and those with no accidents or violations in the past five years are gold.


ゴールド免許をとるとき、どんな手続きだったかというと、まず手続きのお金を払うんだよね。ゴールド免許は3000円だったよ。そして、視力検査、写真、講座っていう順番だったよ。講座はどんなルールが新しくできたとか、この内容が変わったとかいう話を聞いて、あとはビデオを見て終わりだった！全部で1時間くらいだったと思う。で、帰るときに新しい免許証をもらうっていう流れだったよ。ほしい人は古い免許証ももらえて、私はもらって帰ったよー。5年前の自分若かった～！

When I got the gold license, I had to pay for the procedure first. The fee for the gold license was 3,000 yen. Then there was an eye test, a photo, and a class. The lecture was about what new rules had been established, what had changed, and then we watched a video and that was it! I think it took about an hour in total. Then, when we left, we were given a new driver's license. I got my old license if I wanted it, and I left with it!


みんなは「ペーパードライバー」っていう言葉知ってる？「ペーパードライバー」はふだん運転は全然しないっていう人だよ。日本は身分証明書として運転免許証がよく使われるんだよね。だから、別に免許証は必要ないんだけど、身分証明書として使ってるっていう人も多いよ。

Do you know the term "paper driver"? A "paper driver" is a person who does not drive at all. In Japan, a driver's license is often used as an ID card. So many people do not need a driver's license, but use it as an ID card.
