After getting her licence at 18 years, Portia Needham has created bumper stickers that enable drivers to show a bit of kindness on the roads.
Her stickers, titled “New driver pls be kind” are a way to remind motorists to exercise patience and caution around less experienced drivers.
According to Constantiaberg Bulletin, Needham says the idea came about after she received her learners in July.
“I was proud of getting my licence, but when I started driving by myself, I realised people can be impatient and a bit rude,” she says, “They don’t know when you got your licence, or how long you’ve been driving and if you don’t have a learner’s sticker – you are just another car.”
“It was an overnight sensation that blew up in a couple of hours from an idea that was just simply because I was tired of people being impatient and not taking care that just because you have your licence doesn’t mean you aren’t still learning.”
