• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Optional on weekends

Answer: (A)

In Japan, when practicing with a learner’s permit on public roads, you must display the beginner’s mark on the vehicle. This sign flags to other drivers that the person behind the wheel is still learning, so they should allow extra space and be extra cautious. Placing it at the rear helps drivers behind you notice it quickly, which is the main reason for its visibility during practice. Not displaying the mark isn’t just discouraged—it’s a traffic-rule-related safety measure, and using it reduces the risk of misunderstandings and accidents caused by inexperience.
