A Brazilian man who supports the physical conditioning of Brazilian players currently playing for J1 League club Fagiano Okayama had previously attempted the foreign license conversion test last year without taking any driving lessons. However, his test was terminated just five minutes after it began, and he realized he needed proper instruction.
He was introduced to me by a Brazilian player from Vissel Kobe, whom I had helped pass the same conversion test two years ago after giving driving lessons. Yesterday, I conducted a pre-test driving lesson for him.
Starting from the basic procedures before moving the car, I taught him safety checks, right and left turning methods, and more. He was shocked by the driving techniques required, saying:
“There’s no way I could pass this without lessons!” ＼(◎o◎)／！
We thoroughly practiced key test sections including hill starts, railroad crossings, the S-curve course, and the crank course. After confirming that he could pass as long as he avoided major mistakes, we finished the lesson.
Today, after taking my lesson, he went for the test — and successfully passed on his very first attempt!
