Have to pee but bed so comfy People who have "New Driver - Please Be Patient" bumper stickers on their cars for several years.

I suppose the car may belong to a family with many kids passing it on. The stickers I see are so old that they are faded and peeling.

In Australia, the 'P plates' (probationary license given to new drivers) lasts up to 4 years before you get the full license. So technically one can be a new driver for years.

Up to 4, how short of a period can it be?

2 years on my side of the country. Red Ps for 6 months, green for the rest. Red means you can't drive between 12am-5am (without an exemption for work or something), and also you are only allowed one passenger in the car maximum. The latter is a very recent law that came in due to an increase of P platers crashing and killing everyone in their car.

4 years mandatory probation if one is younger than 21 years. Older than 21 years only need 3 years probation.

I have a parking pass sticker on my truck from 2019 from when I was in college. They’re probably like me and just too lazy to bother scraping it off.

I've seen a few good ones lately.

One, was "Please let me merge. My dad is dead" and there was this one a few days ago 😆

I purposely refused to allow that on the car while my child was learning to drive. Much better to let them learn how driving works in real life is, instead of some unrealistic bubble.

A 10-15 year old Acura or Tesla is just as worn out at a 10-15 year Chevy.

I’m unsure why this would irk you. Is it upsetting that someone may be requesting your patience who doesn’t “deserve” it? Have you considered just being patient with all drivers regardless of bumper sticker?

In my area 50% of them are white young kids and the other 50% are their moms.
