Stickers for drivers

Sticker (a) is a sign that beginner drivers put on their cars for a year after they have received* got their driver's licenses. We call it 若葉マーク(young-green-leaf mark) or 初心者マーク(neophyte mark).

Sticker (b) and (c) are both signs that elderly drivers put on their cars to inform people that they are over the age of 70. We call them 高齢者マーク(old-aged mark).

People thought that sticker (b) looked like a dead leaf so that some elderly drivers didn't like its design and complained that they didn't want to put it on their cars. We also call it もみじマーク(maple mark).

Sticker (c) is a newly designed one. We also call it 四つ葉(よつば)マーク(four-leaves mark).


I prefer the design of (b), though, I won't put both of them on my car even if I reach the age of 70. :D

have received* although got makes sense here it sounds more like something that a child would say rather then an adult.
