A facility that teaches driving skills, laws, and knowledge of vehicle structure. In Japan, there is no specific legal basis for operating a driving school. However, if the facility, personnel, and content of the training meet certain standards set out in Article 98 of the Road Traffic Act (Act No. 105 of 1960), the Prefectural Public Safety Commission designates the school as a designated driving school. The subjects, training hours, and training methods for practical and academic training at designated driving schools are set out in the Enforcement Regulations of the Road Traffic Act. In addition, the appointment of skill instructors, academic instructors, and skill examiners who meet certain requirements is mandatory. Once a student has completed the required training and passed the graduation test administered by the skill examiner, he or she is exempt from the practical test in the driver's license examination administered by the Prefectural Public Safety Commission. As of the end of 2000, there were 1,508 designated driving schools and 251 non-designated driving schools, and the number of people who graduated from designated driving schools that year was 2,008,515, accounting for 94.8% of those who obtained new driver's licenses (Police White Paper).

自動車の運転に関する技能および法令、自動車の構造などの知識について教習を行う施設。わが国においては自動車教習事業を行うこと自体については特別の法律の根拠はない。しかし、施設、人的構成、教習内容などが道路交通法(昭和35年法律105号)第98条の定める一定の基準に適合するものについては、都道府県公安委員会が指定自動車教習所として指定している。指定自動車教習所における技能および学科教習については、科目、教習時間、教習方法が道路交通法施行規則に定められている。また、一定の要件を備えた技能指導員、学科指導員、技能検定員の選任が義務づけられている。所定の教習を終え、技能検定員による卒業試験に合格すると、都道府県公安委員会の行う運転免許試験のうち技能試験が免除される。2000年(平成12)末現在、指定自動車教習所は1508か所、非指定の自動車教習所は251か所あり、同年中における指定自動車教習所の卒業者は200万8515人で、新たに運転免許を取得した者の94.8%を占めている(『警察白書』)。 [折田康徳・佐藤英善] [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
