Staff may ask速度と車間距離:周囲の流れに合わせ、前車との車間距離を十分に保つ
Speed and following distance: match the flow of traffic and keep a sufficient distance from the car ahead.
Staff may ask進路変更(車線変更):30m手前(または3秒前)でウインカー
Changing lanes: signal 30 meters (or 3 seconds) before changing.
Staff may askルームミラー・サイドミラー・死角の目視
Check the rearview mirror, side mirrors, and blind spots visually.

Staff may ask本線手前のPA・SAなど:停車状態から合流レーンへ向かう
At a parking area or service area before the main road: move from a stopped position into the merging lane.
Staff may ask加速の徹底:合流レーン(加速車線)でアクセルをしっかり踏み込み、本線の流れと同じ速度(時速80km/hなど)まで一気に加速する
Accelerate firmly: press the accelerator hard in the merging (acceleration) lane and quickly build up speed to match the main road's flow (e.g., 80 km/h).
Staff may askタイミングの確認:ルームミラー、サイドミラー、目視で本線の後続車との距離・速度を確認する
Check the timing: use the rearview mirror, side mirrors, and a visual check to confirm the distance and speed of vehicles behind you on the main road.
Staff may ask合流:ウインカーを出し、本線の車の間にスムーズに入り込む
Merging: signal and smoothly merge into the flow of the main road traffic.
Staff may ask速度維持:スピードメーターのこまめな確認(気づかないうちにスピードが出すぎることが多いので注意)
Maintaining speed: check the speedometer frequently (be careful, as speed often creeps up without you noticing).
Staff may ask車間距離の確保:一般道よりも圧倒的に車間距離を広く取る(前車の急ブレーキに対応するため)
Keeping following distance: keep a much greater distance than on regular roads, to react to sudden braking by the car ahead.
Staff may ask走行車線のキープ:基本は左側の「走行車線」をキープし、追い越し時のみ右側車線を使用する
Staying in the driving lane: generally stay in the left "driving lane," and use the right lane only for overtaking.
Staff may ask事前準備:降りるインターチェンジ(IC)やジャンクション(JCT)の1〜2km手前から右(または左)ウインカーを出し、減速車線へ移動する準備をする
Advance preparation: 1–2 km before your exit interchange (IC) or junction (JCT), signal right (or left) and prepare to move into the deceleration lane.
Staff may ask減速:減速車線に入ってからウインカーを消し、ブレーキでしっかり指定速度(速度超過に注意)まで落とす
Decelerating: turn off the signal once in the deceleration lane, and use the brake to properly slow down to the posted speed (watch for speeding).
Staff may ask料金所:通行券やETCの指定レーンに従い、一時停止または徐行して通過する
Tollgate: follow the designated lane for your toll ticket or ETC, and pass through by stopping briefly or driving slowly.
