Dear Geil and all
The licence for driving a tractor is unnecessary in Japan.
However, it is necessary when it should pass or go on a public road.
In this case, the minimum age is 18 years old.
However, in Japan, tractor accidents are primarily an issue for elderly
farmers.
The farmer population in Japan is only 1.2/69 million (1.7%) of the working
population.
The average age of them is 69 years old.
71% are more than 65 years old.
Japan imports more than 60% of its food.
I'm worried about the future of my country.
Kind regards,
Hajime
