  • Driving test can often turn to be one of life's most scary experiences. But probably not in Mexico, because drivers don't have to take one.

    驾驶执照考试往往会成为人生中最恐怖经历的其中一个。但在墨西哥也许并不是这样,因为司机们并不需要参加驾考。

    This is a bizarre fact revealed by a new infographic, which charts how wildly tests differ around the world.

    一张新的信息图显示了这一令人匪夷所思的事情,它绘制出了世界各地驾考的巨大差异性。

    At the other end of the scale Japan and Finland are some of the most difficult countries in which to undertake a driving test.

    而另一方面,日本和芬兰是驾考难度最大的国家。

    According to the infographic, created by foraymotorgroup.co.uk, in Japan people must take a practical and theory test along with an aptitude1 test, which tests vision colour blindness, hearing and physical fitness.

    根据foraymotorgroup.co.uk绘制的信息图显示,在日本,人们必须参加实践测试、理论测试以及资质测试--测试视力色盲、听力和身体健康。

    One of the quirkier moves an examiner could demand is for a student to reverse around an S-curve.

    更为奇怪的测试之一是,主考人可要求学员呈S形曲线倒车。

    Denmark has similarly tricky2 tests, with some students asked to perform figure of eights. Learner drivers must also complete seven hours of first aid theory.

    丹麦也有着同样奇怪的测试,一些学员被要求呈8字驾驶。学员们还必须完成七个小时的急救理论学习。

    In Finland, students must have had 18 hours of practical lessons and could be asked to demonstrate their skid3 control in icy weather and their ability to drive at night.

    在芬兰,学员们必须参加18个小时的实践课,还有可能会被要求展示自己在冰雪天气的刹车控制以及开夜车的能力。

    Along with Mexico, India and Pakistan are also apparently4 one of the easier places to pass a driving test.

    和墨西哥一样,印度和巴基斯坦明显也是更容易通过驾考的国家。

    In Pakistan the simple test just asks drivers to take a car through a series of cones5, according to the infographic. As a result, there is an 80 per cent pass rate in the country.

    根据信息图显示,巴基斯坦最简单的测试只是要求司机们乘车穿过几个锥形体。结果,该国有80%的通过率。

    While in India, the test merely asks students to drive straight, turn left and then stop. And if you've got enough pennies, you can pay between 500-1,000 rupees to get a license6 without even taking a test.

    而在印度,测试仅要求学员们直行、左拐而后停车。如果你有钱,花上500到1000卢比,那么你就可以免试拿证。
