The axis of incompetent drivers

My international license expires on 8/1, so I will have to get a Japanese license to drive legally next year.

Unfortunately, for an American, getting a Japanese license is more difficult than simple paperwork--I would have to take a behind-the-wheel driving test all over again. If I were from say, UK or South Korea, I wouldn't have to deal with such hassle.

Only drivers from 3 other countries besides US are deemed un-roadworthy by Japan:

China--communist.
South Africa--racist.
Saudi Arabia--terrorist.

The United States of America is in fine company.
