Pennsylvania Auto Dealers

This story takes place a long way from your PA car dealers, but it could come true across the nation if it’s popular in Colorado.

A state lawmaker wants to make it mandatory for teenagers to place a decal on the car they are driving so other drivers know they are not experienced behind the wheel. Surprisingly, the suggestion came from a senior in high school who simply wanted to do something to make teen drivers feel safer when more experienced drivers are near them on the roads.

“We’re not as experienced as other drivers, and older drivers sometimes can get very angry with our driving and it kind of causes some road rage,” said J.R. Lopez, the student who suggested the idea. He said a multi-color triangular decal would let others know that they should be patient and courteous to the newer drivers.

The idea has taken effect in other countries and Representative Randy Fischer is sponsoring the bill in Colorado. “This s something we ought to try at least to see if there is a reduction in accidents, and part of the bill would be to have the Department of Public Safety collect records on accident rates with young drivers with these decals,” Fischer said. Some are opposed to the idea, though, saying there are already enough laws protecting new drivers.
