警察庁、高齢者運転免許更新の実車試験見直しを提言 方向変換課題追加へ

Quick Look

警察庁の有識者検討会は、違反歴がある75歳以上を対象とする運転免許更新時の実車試験について、合格者の事故件数が対象外の高齢者の2.8倍であることを踏まえ、方向変換など複数の操作を同時に求める課題の追加を提言した。来年度からの改善を目指す。

一定の違反歴がある75歳以上を対象に運転免許更新時に行っている運転技能検査(実車試験)の見直しを議論する警察庁の有識者検討会が3日、報告書をまとめた。複数の運転操作が必要な「方向変換」の課題の追加などが示された。実車試験に合格したドライバーによる事故が多いことを踏まえたという。

警察庁は道路交通法施行規則の改正などをして来年度からの改善を目指す。

実車試験は2022年に導入され、運転免許を更新する75歳以上のうち過去3年間に特定の違反をした人に義務付けられる。一時停止や信号通過など五つの課題があり、検査員が100点から減点方式で採点。70点以上で1種免許の合格になる。

試験合格者、事故件数2.8倍

しかし警察庁が、試験の合格者と、試験の対象外で高齢者講習の受講者(75歳以上)のその後の事故件数(10万人あたり)を追跡調査すると、試験の合格者の事故が対象外の高齢者の2.8倍だったことが判明。違反は1.9倍だった。

実車試験が十分に機能しておらず、試験の見直しが必要だとして警察庁は有識者検討会を7~8月に計3回開いて議論してきた。

検討会の報告書では、高齢者の事故はアクセルとブレーキの踏み間違いが目立つとして、ペダルやハンドル操作、後方・周囲への複数の注意が同時に求められる課題が必要と判断。車庫入れのように、限られたスペースに一方向からバックで入れ、逆方向に前進する方向変換の追加を決めた。この際、接触や脱輪をすると20点の減点にする。

■合格率93.9%→81.6…

National Police Agency strengthens driving skill tests for elderly drivers, adds direction change and safety confirmation, doubles demerit points for not stopping temporarily

On the 3rd, the National Police Agency announced plans to add ``change of direction'' and ``safety checks'' to the left and right sides of the vehicle to the examination items of the ``driving skill test'' required of elderly drivers aged 75 and older who have a history of violations such as ignoring red lights, and to double the number of demerit points for ``failure to stop at an intersection'' to 40 points. The system will be revised in fiscal 2027 following a review based on a report from a panel of experts and a public opinion gathering. In demonstration tests at license exam centers in Tokyo and Osaka, the pass rate was 81.6%, 12 points lower than the current rate.

Marriage parties for couples with the same surname are attracting attention while the selective surname system for couples has not been implemented.

While the system of selectively separating surnames for married couples has not yet been implemented, a matchmaking party for couples with the same surname called ``Sou-Kon no Susume'' is being held in Tokyo, and is attracting attention as an initiative to reduce the burden of changing surnames. The aim is for participants to feel close to each other through their shared last names, and to build momentum for the introduction of the system.
