so I've seen a lot of these things floating on various types of cars, and its seen as a cool thing.
 but what I don't understand why its cool... these are badges beginner drivers have to put on their cars, which restrict how they drive and how people drive around them. so do people actually know this? it just blows my mind really..

its just a fad........
Wakaba yellow and green sticker means youre a beginner/retarded driver whom others should stay away from. or you can rock the Kareha yellow and orange sticker saying youre a experienced/elder driver that others still need to stay away from

I mean I got it in Japan that makes sense... but "JDM as Fck" stickers... really? lol I think because I'm a Japanese Culture major in college is why this bothers me... plus ignorance isn't an excuse either. oh well I just find it dumb, yet really interesting. I can't say much though Japanese people do the same **** with American culture too. Kevin |

I've had these exact same thoughts Kevin, it really blows my mind as well. And you are right, most people really don't know it is to signify a beginning driver...n00bs...

In my experience, most of the people I've seen with those know it's to mark a beginning driver. They just don't care because it's JDM, y0.
