Where to Place the Novice Driver Sign?
2 Answers
Novice driver signs are generally placed on both sides of the rear windshield or on the trunk of the car. When posting the novice driver sign, make sure it does not obstruct the driver's view. The novice driver sticker is a functional decal used to identify vehicles driven by beginners, serving as a warning to other vehicles to prevent safety accidents such as rear-end collisions. When driving, novice drivers should place the sign in a conspicuous position on the rear window or the rear of the vehicle body. Other drivers can take preemptive measures upon seeing this sign, ensuring understanding and consideration from other drivers, pedestrians, and traffic police, thereby preventing traffic accidents. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the first 12 months after a motorist initially obtains a driver's license is considered the probationary period. During this period, a uniform-style novice driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle.
As a novice who just got my driver's license, I have deep feelings about that 'New Driver' sticker. I remember specifically going to an auto parts store to buy one before my first drive. I chose to place it on the bottom left corner of the rear window, near the trunk area, because this position wouldn't block my rearview mirror while still being noticeable to others. When applying it, I made sure the glass was clean - wiped it dry with a damp cloth before firmly attaching the sticker. After putting it on, I felt other drivers gave me more space when they saw the sticker, being less likely to brake suddenly or honk, which gave me much more peace of mind. The first few months of driving can be really nerve-wracking, and this small detail helped me transition while reminding me to gradually improve my skills. I recommend all new drivers use one - don't be afraid of the trouble, safety comes first.
