Japanese Learner Driver Sign
$18.00
In Japan, the yellow-and-green V/leaf-shaped symbol is the Shoshinsha mark (初心者マーク), also commonly called the Wakaba mark (若葉マーク). It means “beginner driver”.
What it means
-
It tells other drivers: this driver is new / may be less confident, so give them a little extra space and patience.
Who has to use it (and for how long)
-
If you have a regular license and it’s been less than 1 year since it was first issued, you’re required to display it on your vehicle (front and back).
-
Drivers can also keep using it longer if they still feel like a beginner.
Where it goes + penalties
-
It’s meant to be placed at designated positions on the front and rear of the vehicle.
-
Not displaying it when required is treated as a violation (Tokyo police guidance shows an example fine/points).
Fun extra: the emoji
-
The same symbol exists as the 🔰 emoji, used online to mean “I’m new at this.”
