Signs "Newbie" on the car

The sign on the car “Novichok” warns other road users that an inexperienced driver behind the wheel can make a mistake that will lead to an emergency. Therefore, when moving behind such a machine, you need to keep your distance.

Since 2009, a clause has appeared in the Rules of the Road obliging all car owners whose experience is less than 24 months to glue the “Beginner Driver” sign on the car. It serves as a warning to vehicles coming from behind. The image means: a person who has recently received a license is driving.

The sticker "Exclamation mark" on the car is noticeable from afar. This is a yellow square with sides of at least 15 centimeters. An exclamation mark is depicted in black on a yellow background. There are no exact instructions in the traffic rules on where to glue the square. Most often, it is placed in the left or right corner of the rear window so that the view does not deteriorate.

A fine for not placing a sign on a Novichok car was not previously provided for in the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Rules of the Road. You can glue it on if you like. But the situation changed in April 2020. Now, for the absence of a sticker, a fine of 500 rubles is issued. An exclamation mark must be affixed to all newcomers who have been driving for less than two years.

The Beginning Driver outdoor sticker is made from a material that is resistant to fading. It is easy to stick on and remove from glass without leaving any residue.

The sign on the car “Beginner driver” not only warns other road users, but also provides additional confidence to the novice. A person who has just got behind the wheel often faces problems such as:

  • Traffic jams and congested roads. Inexperienced drivers are afraid. Not knowing how to pass properly, they can stand for a long time, not daring to perform a maneuver.
  • Confusion in case of non-standard situations while driving. A person begins to remember the rules, panics, loses concentration.
  • Fear of seeming stupid, becoming a hindrance on the road.
  • Loss of orientation. This problem is especially relevant in large cities. The driver cannot simultaneously navigate in space and follow the road.

The Exclamation Mark sticker on a car will give confidence to a novice driver that others will be more attentive when they are next to him on the road.
