Georgia mom looking to mandate 'newly licensed' magnets for teen drivers
Georgia mom looking to mandate 'newly licensed' magnets for teen drivers
by Michael Harley on Jul 7th 2009 at 2:27PM
A mom in Georgia is on a crusade to convince state lawmakers to require special "Caution - Newly Licensed" magnets and stickers on the backs of all vehicles operated by young drivers. Concerned after moving from Ohio to the Peach State and seeing how "crazy" the local drivers were, Susie Kessler founded the "Caution and Courtesy Driver Alliance" to help keep her young son safe when he reached driving age.
According to an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Kessler says the magnet concept was designed to be "something positive" and not embarrassing (in her mind, the simple sticker avoids humiliation to new drivers). And, if you think (correctly) that the kid will simply drive around the corner and pull of the magnet, parents may affix a permanent sticker to the rear window just to drive the message home.
Donnie, her hapless 16-year-old son stuck driving a newbie-emblazoned vehicle, expressed wishes that his mom had focused her energy somewhere else as he quipped to the reporter, "Why does she have to take on this? Couldn't she be feeding the homeless?"

Other than the humor, this story deserves no mention. Poor kid.

Re: Georgia mom looking to mandate 'newly licensed' magnets for teen drivers
Not gonna lie, I'd probably harass a car with a sticker like that more than if they didn't have one...

How about if you can't trust your kid with the ricemobile you let him buy, you take away his car keys.
