What’s the deal with grown adults purchasing “Student Driver” stickers for
Their cars?
Does that make people drive safer around you?

Have one our car while kid is on his learners permit. We share the car sometimes… Or he drives somewhere, gets dropped off, then I drive home. The magnet never comes off, even if I’m driving the car. Most likely that’s the scenario that you’re seeing.

sticker applies and you don't bother to take the sticker/magnet off for every trip not involving the teenaged driver? I've never even considered that grown adults are purchasing student driver magnets to, I don't know, get aggressive drivers off their ass? Now that I've typed it out, actually sounds like a pretty smart idea.

twice in one day, one at a grocery store, grown arse man, parks in front of the store, not in a space, this isn't someone who just learned to drive, been around the block a few tmes. presume it is some sort of insurance savings thing for real rookie drivers so there's some scam in that direction? now I'll read GSO's reply below.
...and I'm back, that didn't follow. they get stickers in driver's remedial classes?
PS reading up it ... just seems to be a thing, that's all.

and we talked about those stickers. Completely optional in NC. In fact she recommended not to put them on vehicles. Why? Because people drive more aggressively towards people who have those stickers on their vehicles in an attempt to rattle a new/learning driver.
Some adults need to go back to driving school because they are down right awful and with the influx of people it’s only getting worse.
