What is the correct way to attach the novice driver sign to a car?
2 Answers
The novice driver sign should be attached to the rear of the vehicle. New drivers can obtain a free novice driver sign from the traffic police department and must affix or hang it as required. New drivers can collect the sign at traffic violation handling windows of local traffic police stations or vehicle management offices by presenting their driver's license. There are two types of novice driver signs: one is magnetic and the other is suction cup-based. The magnetic sign can be directly attached to the rear exterior of the car, while the suction cup-based sign is attached to the inside of the rear window. Here is additional information: 1. Novice driver sign: It serves as a reminder to others that a new driver is on the road. The main color of the sign is yellow, with orange-red accents. 2. Relevant regulations: According to Article 64, Clause 3 of Order No. 123, drivers in the probationary period must affix or hang a standardized novice driver sign on the rear of their vehicle. 3. Correct attachment method: The traffic police remind that if probationary drivers fail to affix or hang the standardized sign on the rear of their vehicle, if the sign cannot be properly recognized, or if the sign does not meet requirements (such as self-printed signs or signs labeled 'new driver'), it will be considered as not having the sign attached.
When I first started learning to drive, I was very careful about placing the novice driver sticker. My instructor emphasized that it must be prominently displayed on the rear of the car, such as the lower center of the rear window or the trunk lid, at a height of about 1 meter from the ground so other drivers can see it clearly. I bought a standard-sized 15cm×15cm magnetic sticker, making sure to clean the car body thoroughly before attaching it to prevent it from falling off. Initially, I placed it too low, almost covering the license plate, but I adjusted it in time to avoid a potential traffic police fine. After putting it on, I felt much safer driving out, as everyone knew to keep their distance from a beginner. Remember, the novice driver sticker should have a yellow background with black lettering, and don’t place it inside the front windshield as it could obstruct your view. Regularly checking its stability is crucial, especially on rainy days to ensure it doesn’t fall off. Once the probationary period ends, you can happily remove it.
