Where should the probationary driver sign be placed on the car?

The probationary driver sign should be placed on a conspicuous position of the rear window or the rear part of the car body. Here is some related information about the probationary driver sign: 1. Function: To indicate a novice driver's vehicle, serving as a warning to other vehicles to prevent safety accidents such as rear-end collisions. 2. Types: One type is magnetic, which can be directly attached to a spacious iron trunk or hung on the rear windshield. The other type is adhesive. 3. Laws and regulations: The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China (State Council Decree No. 405)" stipulates that the first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver obtains a driver's license for the first time is the probationary period.
I also struggled with this issue when I first got my driver's license last month. My instructor told me that the probationary sign must be prominently displayed on the rear of the vehicle, with the best options being the lower left or lower right corner of the rear windshield. This way, drivers behind can easily spot it without obstructing your rearview mirror visibility. It's crucial not to place it on the front windshield as blocking visibility is a traffic violation. Some beginners prefer sticking it in the center of the trunk lid, but this can easily be obscured by luggage. I've tried both static cling and magnetic types, and I recommend static cling as it won't damage the car's paint. Make sure to secure it firmly so it doesn't fall off—getting caught without the probationary sign during your probationary period can result in points deduction and fines.
