Let other motorists know you're a Chinese driver
On the ICBC website, the public auto insurer notes its official "L and N signs let other motorists know you're a new driver or motorcycle rider". Apparently, some drivers are going one step further and letting people know that they're a Chinese driver.
This image from Vancouver was shared on Reddit by a poster who called it "slightly racist". However, other posters chimed in, saying they find these signs funny, they know Chinese people who have them on their rides, or they want one.
What do you think? Are these signs offensive, subversive, and/or hilarious?

The signs are not "offensive, subversive and/or hilarious". Nor are they "slightly racist".
They're just frightening.

I dont find it funny but if an Asian person wants to poke fun at the stereotype, thats their own business.

D- Driver with a DUI
Should also have to post your ICBC rating. Show the good drivers where the bad ones are. Watch out.
