How often must SOFA licensed drivers get their vehicles inspected for Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI)?

SOFA licensed drivers must have their vehicles inspected for Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI) every two years. This inspection is a regulatory requirement in Japan to ensure that all vehicles on the road meet safety and insurance standards.

The purpose of the JCI is to provide financial compensation for injuries and damages caused by vehicle accidents. Having a valid JCI demonstrates compliance with local laws and regulations, ensuring that drivers are covered in the event of an accident. The two-year inspection cycle helps maintain safe vehicle operating conditions and provides reassurance to all road users in Japan.

This periodic requirement is crucial for maintaining road safety and ensuring that all vehicles are adequately insured, thereby contributing to the overall well-being of the community.
