Wakaba Mark? Momiji Mark?
Ever heard of Wakaba Mark or Momiji Mark? Wakaba means young leaves in Japanese and drivers in Japanese whose license has been issued for less than one year must attach a Wakaba mark sticker to their car. This allows other drivers to recognize you as a beginner to take extra cautions. Momiji means autumn leaves and drivers over 70 years old are required to display this mark. I think this is based on one of Japanese cultural behavior "omoiyari", in which they think about, respect, and care about each other all the time.
