Gold Driver's License

Today I updated my driver's license and got a gold licence.

Driver's license in Japan is able to be divided into three types -- green, blue, and gold.

The green license is given to people who acquire a driver's license for the first time, and the expiration date is 2 to 3 years.

The blue license is given to people who update the green license, or violated the Road Traffic Law more than one time in the past 5 years, and the expiration date is 3 to 5 years.

The gold license is given a person who keeps his/her driving record clean for 5 years, and the expiration date is 5 years.

Incidentally, the gold license (ゴールド免許) is officially called "優良運転者免許証," the literal meaning of which is "license for drivers with no history of traffic violations."

The easiest and most reliable way to get the gold license is that you don't drive after getting your driver's license.

ゴールド免許

私は今日、運転免許証を更新して、ゴールド免許を手に入れました。

日本の運転免許証は、グリーン、ブルー、ゴールドの3種類に分けられ、数年おきに更新する必要があります。

グリーン免許は初めて免許を取得した人のみが持つ免許で、有効期限は2～3年です。

ブルー免許はグリーン免許から更新でなった人か、過去5年間に違反が1回以上ある人が持つ免許で、有効期限は3～5年です。

そしてゴールド免許は、更新前の過去5年間に事故・違反が一切ない人が持つ免許で、有効期限は5年です。

ゴールド免許は正式には、「優良運転者免許証」と呼ばれます。

ゴールド免許を取得する最も簡単で確実な方法は、免許取得後に運転をしないことです。
