It's a foreigner thing. They put those on the car to alert you they are gonna drive like they are still in Mumbai.

The best thing anyone can do for their kid is to take them to the highway and have them enter and exit at each ramp. Force them to practice getting up to speed, merging into, and out of traffic. Over and over and over.
Driving on the interstate is the scariest part of teaching a teen driver. Here are some great tips I picked up to prepare them for Houston driving.
1. Don't speed. Teens, especially boys, are prone to speeding. Keep them 5 miles below the speed limit.
2. Be prepared to drive in all lanes. You never know where you are going to be, so practice driving long distances in the same lane. Start off in the far left lane.
3. Be prepared for all conditions. You can't control when it rains, so practice as if its raining. Make sure their hazard lights are on.
Teen girls are far far worse. They don't pay attention to *****
Driving 5 under in Houston will get you killed.
Import the third world, become the third world.
They are EVERYWHERE in Cypress. Almost always female migrants from across the world above the age of 50 who have clearly never driven before and have no clue what they are doing. They make our roads much more dangerous, I see them almost getting in wrecks all the time, but "diversity is our strength", so it's worth it..

No one is worse than third world migrant females above 50. But teen girls are very bad.
If you drive like an ******* and assume everyone is an idiot, you'll be just fine.
Those stickers are magnet for someone to gin up an insurance claim…they see those stickers and figure they can force an accident, have some medical issue, and get paid…happened to a neighbor and their son.
Speaking of driver stereotypes- can somebody tell me why, regardless of how nice/expensive a vehicle it might be these two things are almost ubiquitous with black drivers:
1) no EZtag so they're clogging up the feeders on the Beltway
2) if they have young kids they're not in a car seat of any kind, they're just crawling around all over the place

i heard about this trope when i was in Plano/Frisco 2 weeks ago and noticed it a good bit.
last week we were driving around the toll in Austin and while going 80 i started passing one that was only going about 65. I told my co-worker "$5 says it's an Indian adult.
passed and he owed me $5.

Years ago, my wife and I invented a game that is both racist and ageist called OPA.
Whenever we see someone driving really slowly or very erratically, if possible, we take a look to see if they are either
Old
on the Phone
or Asian
It's usually one of the three. Lots of times you get the OA combo and even more so the PA combination. the OP is a rarity, but it happens. Neither of us has ever witness a full-on OPA. We have speculated that such a car might well be on fire or driving in reverse on the freeway.

Don't forget the handicap hang tags!

Ubiquitous.
Dang. Most of you guys are seeing this all wrong. I have a 16 year old I'm currently teaching to drive and yes I put the magnetic sticker on when we do. Why? Because she is going to take turns slower, she will not get up to speed as fast, she will be very hesitant to turn out across traffic. Parking will be difficult and she will not be going very fast.
So, exercise some patience and understand you may be slowed down some because she takes turns slower than normal while learning to handle the car and not hit curbs. That's the point of the magnet. I want other drivers to know I have a new driver and it would probably be a good idea to give us room while she learns.
Already had one instance where a truck and trailer was hung out in our lane trying to turn so she came to a complete stop instead of going around between cars. Once she gets better at looking at her mirrors instead of staring straight in front of her all the time, she will be a better driver.

Counterpoint - we don't need any more foreign drivers, let alone elderly ones, which account for most of the sightings per the people on this thread.
It's never a teenager driving when a see a car with these decals or magnets.
Saw one today that said "Student Driver: I will take both of us out"

EOT.

Unfortunately, the true student drivers pay the price for these scammers. None of the people I see with these stickers take turns slower or exhibit any signs of anything other than crazy disregard for basic traffic safety.

No, hazard lights mean you don't have brake lights or turn signals. Just put on the headlights.
I passed someone the other day that had the driver learning and another that said stick shift, may roll back. I think I want one of those.
I was behind a car with one of these stickers in Atlanta over the weekend and immediately thought of this thread. Didn't seem like a student driver to me.
BTW, Atlanta has traffic circles on some of the service road intersections, which is slightly insane. I survived one on 285 Wednesday night. If you truly yield to traffic coming from the freeway overpasses, you'll be there forever.

Do you really think other drives give a **** about that sticker?
20 years ago when id only see the occasional student driver sticker, it would make me be more aware and polite around the new driver. Now that I live near a high school where the largest demo attending the school is Asian, I feel like 1/4 of every car around me has those stickers. If you all have a warning sticker, it defeats the purpose and I ignore it. Its popup/alarm fatigue.
47 year old Asian here. I'm so getting one of these stickers
