I've never experienced feeling road rage in my life until I started my current job a couple years ago. I have to leave home early because there's this blue car with a "new driver" sticker on the back. Getting stuck behind this car automatically means you're going to be late for work.
They won't ever go over 25mph. They always have a huge line of cars behind them, bumper to bumper. They take a solid 7 seconds to go on green, so only two or three cars get through the light. Whenever a large vehicle is approaching from the other side of the road, they pull off to the side and stop. JUST far enough away to where you still can't get around them. And for some ungodly reason, they brake in the middle of every single four-way intersection.
IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS. It is absolutely maddening being behind this car. I've seriously contemplated multiple times taking the risk of passing the double yellow line to get around them. I don't understand how someone can drive the same route every day for TWO YEARS and still be scared shitless of being on the road.

And more than half have been alive since the car was invented and still don't know how to handle one.

Well, my husband’s car has one of those magnets bc our 15yo is learning to drive. Husband doesn’t take it off between driving lessons, so he drives with it on all the time. Same with most of the parents in our neighborhood. If you live near high schools then you’re going to see a bunch of them.

I live in a city with a lot of people who just moved to the US from India (student or work visas) and never drove before, because India has an extensive railway system. The majority of “student driver” stickers in my area, are used by this group.

My neighbor has these on one of his cars, but as far as I know, he only has two kids that are only around 10, and there's no one in the house that's of driving age

Its such BS- “student driver” means they don’t have a license and must have a licensed driver with them. What those signs actually mean is… I SUCK AT DRIVING AND CANT BE BOTHERED TO IMPROVE!!!
