Due to certain circumstances I can’t drive for a couple months. The grocery store is luckily only a couple miles away (no real sidewalks), but I live in the countryside so buses aren’t a great option. It’s about 15miles to town. I guess just e-bike it? (fully electric-powered bikes aren’t legal here so I’d have to actually exercise…)>t. live in the middle of nowhere like picrel
>>29021124just do what the local drunks in my town do.
>>29021124>Due to certain circumstances I can’t drive for a couple monthsDid they take your driving license for going too fast? >fully electric-powered bikes aren’t legal What the fuck?
>>29021129I often see "vagrant" type people in Appalachia who are walking their bikes by the side of the highway - like roads you would not really expect people to bike on and they don't seem to be doing it for fun, but why I don't get is why they are walking the bike, not riding it.
live like the Amish
>>29021131No, my license is expiring and closest DMV appointment is months after it expires. Would’ve thought 9 months was long enough but here we are.>electric scooters and segways are fine but ebikes are too dangerous!
>>29021124>Due to certain circumstancescome on anon, don't leave us in suspense
>>29021136>No, my license is expiring and closest DMV appointment is months after it expires.Who cares? How often do the police even check your driver's license?
>>29021136>closest DMV appointment is months after it expireswhat?qrd on this pleasealso nothing bad is gonna happen if you get pulled over with an expired license. you aint gonna get arrested.just go to court showing our months away DMV appointment
>>29021136Crazy how inefficient third-world countries are. In my country, we get a note saying go get a picture anywhere you want, send it in and we'll make a new driver's license for you.
>>29021124ebike maybe? its gonna suck no matter what.
>>29021136how often do you get pulled over that you're really worried about this?I get pulled over once every few years so this wouldn't even register as a risk. also why do you require an appointment to renew your license? they just mail it to you where I live.
>>29021138never, and I don’t drink so probably very unlikely>>29021146>be me>move overseas>can only drive on an international license for 1 year (new rule)>make appt with local DMV>complete cunts>took ~5 months just to get an appt to complete paperwork to get a local license (no test required, just to submit docs)>failed - staff ignored my passport stamps and said they couldn’t be sure I actually used my license in my home country for at least 90 days (apparently Chinese people were gaming the system?)>get new appointment for 3.5 months later>resubmit same paperwork as before + loads of docs showing I actually lived in my home country (even though I previously showed 2 passports and 4 licenses)>in-between I renewed my US license by mail since it was expiring soon>failed - “oh anon, you renewed your US license so now the translation for the still-valid-until-next-month-but-previous-license is no longer acceptable. Even though the new license is exactly the same as the old one except for issue/expiry dates, you’ll need to pay our friends another $50 for an official translation and wait another 3 months for the next appointment”That’s the situation in a nutshell. Japan is fucking retarded. Don’t come here, I regret ever wasting my time learning Japanese.
>>29021124My closest store is two minutes walk my closest supermarket is 3.They both deliver.
>>29021167thats what you get you filthy anime fag
>>29021167its japan, just take the train/bus. you'll probably get there faster than driving anyways
>>29021363There’s no train. Bus runs once an hour and doesn’t stop at the grocery store, so a trip to town becomes a 3 hour affair.
>>29021363I’m thinking of just leaving. They clearly don’t want me here and instead want 10 million jeets in 10 years, so fuck them.
>>29021379whats your story anon
Do you like teaching English?
>>29021397no, which is why I don’t do it (the salaries are also retardedly low). >>29021383>be me>get sent to japan for a work trip when I was young>love it (the people were hard-working, honest, and had strong morals. Sort of like how I imagine Europe was before the jews subverted Christianity). Obviously there were exceptions if you went to the weird places or visited shunned sub-cultures.>get along well with everyone>decide I’m going to live here permanently someday>eventually quit my job, study japanese here, but lots of management experience means nothing because a.) they don’t hire foreigners as managers of anything important and b.) overseas experience doesn’t count for anything>get some offers for an average salaryman salary (better than an english teacher by about 50%, so still poverty tier)>move back home for a bit, work at companies doing business in japan>covid lock-downs halt our projects, no more business trips to tokyo :(>eventually get a good job here, come back after covid>jeets_everywhere.jpg>younger generation are all liars and scammers now:>post-WWII generation is now all dead/dying>yutori boomers (basically gen x slackers + boomer entitlement) are now running everything>slowly realize this country is beyond doomed (it was always economically doomed, but now it’s also culturally and demographically doomed)>meanwhile the west has also gone down the shitter>have to pretend to listen attentively to some stupid bossbitch at the DMV about how important XYZ is even though jeets driving illegally have almost killed me twice with their trucks and barely sentient 80-year old zombie nips drive across the centerline into your lane daily in their suicide-kei trucks.
>>29021136lol just go to AAA
>>29021896My IDP is still valid for like 11 more months (I renewed it and forwarded it here), but you can only drive in it for 1 year from date of entry now, so if I got in a wreck or pulled over I’d be fucked.>retard in a kei truck in the oncoming lane just swerved right into my lane today as we were passing and I barely avoided hitting him. Shit like this happens all the time these days
