Generational driving trends in Japan
Overview
In Japan, surveys indicate a generational divide regarding driving habits and attitudes toward driver’s licenses. Seniors aged 70 and older largely express a desire to continue driving for essential daily tasks, though their children often express concern regarding reaction times and safety.
Among Generation Z in Japan, approximately 61% hold a driver’s license, while 53.6% own a vehicle or motorcycle. For the portion of this demographic without a license, the primary obstacles cited are the high cost of obtaining one, a lack of interest, or the adequacy of public transportation.
