"Student Driver" stickers everywhere?

[DemonicLemming]

Something I've been seeing a lot more in the NOVA/MD/DC area are cars with "student driver" stickers whose occupants are definitely not student drivers. Typically have a shitload of anti-Trump/anti-US stickers and lots of pro-Biden/Harris, pro-Hamas, pro-Antifa, etc stickers. Sneaky way of self-identifying to other shitheads without being obvious to cops, conservatives, etc?

Same here in NC, they run off the road just the same as the other cars

Interesting... because when I was taking Drivers Ed. in HS, the school's vehicles did not have any such "student driver" stickers. These cars were totally bland... no markers at all. This, I believe, to keep other drivers from harassing the student driver, out in traffic. I think only the professional driving schools would have "Student driver" on their vehicles.

And I haven't seen any such stickers in use, here in FL.

Normally seen driving below the speed limit in left lane in Georgia. Wish yall would keep them in Florida and Canada and not clog up our highways.

All of these are definitely private, non-"student" vehicles. Very rarely saw them before the 2024 election, now very common in the blue states (no increase in WV-tagged vehicles that I've noticed, which is what makes me wonder about them since WV is solid red surrounded by blue).

These "student drivers" stickers are all over Georgia - they are either 1) a joke, 2) a parent or loved one stuck it on a poor driver's car, 3) or people put it on their own car to signify their inability to drive or distaste of driving

I see them regularly in central FL.

Both my daughters had student driver magnets on their cars until they got their license. I live in a respectible part of the country though, where people are understanding, and act appropriately around people that are learning to drive.

It’s sarcasm in sticker form, just another gay trend.

 

[isofahunter]

Most drivers should have their cars wrapped in caution tape.

Yep, I too live in that area and almost every time I see that stupid bumper sticker there's a 45 y.o. driving it.

Tampa Bay area? I'll have to keep a look out then.

I kind of doubt that it’s a sneaky way of self-identifying, as all those other liberal stickers already does that in spades.

I definitely see many of them on the roads in FL. I think that most likely it’s a combo of parents being overprotective of their student drivers and those that think maybe you’ll avoid them or give them a pass for poor driving habits.

Edit:
It looks they are readily available online:

My oldest daughter drives a Hyundai accent, tiny little car. When I drive it, the thing I notice the most is that all the cunt drivers come out of the wood work around her car. Tailgating, and generally cunt like behavior. I should have bought her an SUV. My youngest drives an escape, and it doesn't have a gravitational draw for cunt drivers like the accent does.

Magnet costs the driving school 50-cents and sells to worrisome parents for $10.
I'd sell them too if driver's ed was my business.
Then it's too much work to take the magnet off when mum/dad drive.

 

[Docsherm]

All over the place here. I do not know what those people are thinking. We do not need a sticker to show us that you are an asshole and drive like an asshole.

And who are we to criticize anyway? We have our own monikers for such things.... Participated recently in a thread about the "Amish?"

Polk county.

Should have bought her a gun. lol

Funny. I just got hit by a young driver today. I'm not sure that a student driver sticker would have prevented her from cutting me off and hitting my pickup in the process.

Yeah, a few years back my wife was hit while waiting in the left turn lane at a stoplight. A student driver, no sticker, misjudged the turn coming the other way and wrecked the car my wife had just rented 15 minutes before. The rental company was not amused.

 

[Bullfrog08]

Everyone I see driving appears to be a student driver. These are just the ones putting the stickers on their cars.

Oh yes, in Broward, Dade and Palm beach, there are a shit ton of them. And the drivers are all way to old to be "student drivers". Maybe illegal alien first time drivers if anything.

I was thinking this about the Denver area recently as well

I've seen a good many in the eastern panhandle (thanks Shepherdstown) but didn't see a whole lot last time we were down towards Elkins. Don't do a whole lot of driving on roads down there so that might be why.

I was starting to wonder if it was a thing. Lots of them in utah.

Like the stupid duck thing with jeeps. I saw one on the back of a '59 Continental at the Golden cruise last Sat.
