Do you have any special mark put on the car if you are a beginner driver or a senior driver?
In Japan the beginner driver have to put the sign called shoshinsha mark (初心者マーク) in the front and back of the car. It is a green and yellow V-shaped symbol, and introduced in 1972. The beginner driver have to put them for a year after obtaining the official driver's license.
The senior people whose age are more than 70 years old are advised to put the sign called koreisha mark (高齢者マーク), an orange and yellow teardrop-shaped sign. This sign is also called momiji mark (もみじマーク:meaning maple leaf mark), kareha mark (枯れ葉マーク：meaning dried leaf mark), or ochiba mark (落ち葉マーク：meaning fallen leaf mark) and they are not good meaning.
Therefore they renewed the sign with four colors (orange, yellow, light green and green) clover-shaped sign with the designed letter S meaning senior today.
