There are warning signs to indicate people learning to drive in ex-Soviet countries (such yellow triangles to put behind the glass), even though they are driving with an instructor.

Now when I think about it, it’s been some time since I’ve seen that sign.

Somewhat similarly in the Netherlands, in case you fail your practical driving exam three times you still get a license but you can only drive cars marked with special yellow number plates.

All cars in NL have yellow plates. The guy before you made a joke.

They’re pretty common in the US as well, but it’s just a sign that says “student driver”.

I’ve also seen orange triangles used in vehicles like horse-drawn carriages that can’t go as fast as regular traffic, mostly in connection to Amish people.
