Practice question

People over the age of 16 may apply for a license for large-size motorcycles.

  1. Cannot Determine
  2. True
  3. Not Applicable
  4. False

Answer: D — False

The key idea is the age requirement for a large-size motorcycle license. In Japan, the minimum age to obtain a large-size motorcycle license is 18, not 16. That means someone who is 17 cannot apply, even though they’re older than 16. The larger, more powerful motorcycle license has a higher age threshold because it reflects increased risk and complexity, requiring more training and testing. If you’re 18 or older, you can apply after meeting the other requirements and completing the necessary exams.
