Vincenzo did you have to take the Japanese driving test twice?
Rather off topic, but...
As for the US test: This must be a State by State thing because I had a Maryland driving license before and did not go on the road, just a small closed circuit.

No, I got lucky. The company I work for set me up with someone from Tokyo that knew the ins and outs of getting the license. He walked me through the course and I was able to pass on the first try, but he pretty well expected me to fail at least once.

Missouri took us out on the road during our test, so it must be by state.

I was looking online at some of the procedures and it seems to be a real milestone because of the difficulty. This one guy tells you what to do to pass on the first try:
QUOTE Pre-driving center notes
1. The people who give you the test are actual police officers. They are not happy to be there and they are even less happy dealing with foreigners. Accordingly, it will help you a lot to show a great deal of respect to them.
2. Never show up late. In fact, show up early (refer to the schedule below).
3. Dress up as professionally as possible every time you go to the center. Ties and jackets for guys. Subdued professional for woman.
4. Bring a translator and ask them to dress up too. Specifically, tell them before that you need them to be as "majime" as possible, they will understand.
5. Prepare yourself to have to be as frustrated as you have ever been and not to get upset or show a negative emotion. If you need to, put something in a pocket that you can squeeze, but do not ever get upset or emotional (it is the death kiss of the whole process).
6. Make sure that you will have a translator that you trust go with you and ask them well ahead of time. I had a different person translate for me on the first and second day. One was an older, well-educated, professional woman. The other person was a young, respectful and well-educated woman. The first spoke fluent English, the second not as well. What mattered is that they were both really serious and respectful (to both me and the police officer) and represented me well.
