They thought the US failure to cooperate in the driving information was rude, so US licensed drivers will fail the driving test while someone from another country will pass, both drivers driving the exact same way.

I'd just pretend to be shocked by her "revelation" that I'd broken some traffic regulation or other, and give the obligatory exaggerated "Oh-kei...Sankkyu!" to the officer who'd done the scolding to be passed on.

The driving tester's form now says at the top that US license holders taking the test are to be given a more severe test than others. Go to the driver testing place and look at the form.
The League of Nations and Korean colonization were examples of how petty the culture can be, not WHY US license holders are held to a different standard on the driving test.

It's like high school tests... Even in history today I would not be able to pass them (especially since A LOT of events are completely reversed when you study history at universities, HS programs being basically make you feel good polarized bullshit) While for students it's supposed to be a milk run.

I know the infraction was the same, but the differences are night and day, pun intended.
Coligny, I have found it doesn't matter how slight the crime may be, foreigners will get nailed to the wall over it. So yes, it is a surprise.
