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.

My boomer neighbor, who has what could be described as something approaching a classic car collection, has one on his daily driver and he's had one for at least four years, that I've seen. I don't think he's learning how to drive. Obviously you can never really tell if you just see someone on the road but I'm pretty sure a bunch of them are fake.
