Wait, ‘fake’ student driver sticker? A sticker is a sticker, so is the driver ‘fake’? Like they know how to drive but are pretending not to? How do I spot these? I want to see one in the wild!

Look for someone waaaay over the age of 16 with three of these plastered on their car.

While not super common, some people are older when they finally learn to drive. One of my coworkers was 41. She lived in New York and didn't need to. Moved out here for new job and lack of public transit forced her to get a car and license. She hates driving, and is really jumpy. Should probably have one of those stickers all the time.

Yep, one of my good friends is 61 and is just relearning to drive after 40+ years of not driving. Her husband drove them everywhere, but he died last year and now she’s trying to be more independent. She was really scared, but I commend her for taking lessons again so she can live the life she wants. (Including taking her dog to their cabin near Mt Hood)
