My second daughter, Yuri, got a driver's license today. She lives in Nagoya City where the traffic system are well organized, so she doesn't have to get the license now. However, I thought she wouldn't have enough time to learn how to drive a car after her graduation from the university and advised her to get the license now while she is in the university.
Besides, the driver's license can be used as an ID card, on which the portrait is attached. The possession of the license confirms that she isn't drug-addicted and doesn't have abnormal color sensation. If she didn't have one, someone might suspect that she has some problems in her physical condition.
(Vocabulary)
physical condition 物理的条件 健康状態 生理的状態
abnormal color sensation 色覚異常
次女の有里が運転免許を取得。彼女は名古屋市に住んでおり、交通機関が発達しているので今のところ、運転をする必要はないのだが、大学を卒業すると免許取得のための時間を取りにくいだろうから、学生時代に取っておくよう勧めた。
また、免許証はＩＤカードとしても有用だ。免許証を持っていることで色覚障害がないとか、麻薬中毒ではないとか、当たり前のことだが証明にもなる。もし免許を持っていないとなると、身体に何か問題があるのではないかと思われる可能性もあるのだ。
