I am seeing many of these on vehicles driving around town. Is this meant to be funny? Are parents putting these on their cars? I can't see anyone here doing this to their kids.

Parent taught driver's ed programs. It's been around for years, but Amazon and other places started making cheap magnetic signs and some parents are using them even though it's not required. Private driver's ed companies and school taught have to have more signage than just the one.

Yeah, I get it. Don't have any stickers, but I can see it. I'm doing the parent drivers ed thing now, and see people that are getting impatient at 4 ways where we're a little slower to process or when we might be driving a little slower than they'd prefer. It's kind of a notice to chill the hell out..

We don’t have a student driver sticker on one of our cars. But we do have a magnet.

It’s more for warning other drivers that the person operating the vehicle around them doesn’t have much experience, so they may wish to take a wider path, slow down or get past us. I look at it as more of a community safety feature than a ‘look at us’.

Heck, when I learned to drive in the mid-90’s this was a thing on the driver’s ed car, so it’s definitely not a new thing by any means. I think Amazon just made it a lot easier since parents no longer need to go to a print shop for these. Just locate in an app, click buy and they arrive.

I’m going to get a ‘Old man driver. Please be patient!’ magnet for my truck.

Eliminating or drastically reducing Driver Ed in school has led to the vast number of idiots on the road.

I started driving, on the farm, at 9 yo. Turned 16 and having to take Driver Ed made mad. Almost as mad as having to take Hunter Ed at 26 yo, to be able to get an out-of-State Colorado license.

But, I took both and continued with life. Don't regret either.

The repercussions of driving without a license should be extremely more costly than it is. Accident with no insurance, DUI penalties should be severe and more of a deterrent.
