Ch. 4 · Pre-Drive Conduct

When elderly drivers aged 70 and over drive a ordinary vehicle, they must display the elderly driver's mark on the front and rear of the vehicle.

[True / False · Medium]

Hikari

Wait, I thought seniors had to put that mark on their car?

Misaki

That's the trap. It's actually encouraged, not required — the rules say they 'should' display it, but it's not an absolute must.

Hikari

Oh! So they won't get in trouble if they don't?

Misaki

Exactly. The answer is false because the question says 'must,' but the law only recommends it for drivers 70 and over.
