Watch Out For The "Sticker People"

As you can see from the images inserted above, there are many dangers here on Okinawa. Apparently, the older crowd, depicted as a orange and yellow "teardrop" have experienced some bumps and dings, which warranted "special" identification and represents the tears they've wept due to accidents they've cause. Additionally, new inexperienced drivers on Okinawa are identified with a yellow and green arrow pointing to the ground, which warns potential accident victims to remain alert! There is also a proported "handicap" driver sticker, but it remains illusive in the sea of mini-shortbus-box cars. If and when this mythical thing has my eyeball's attention, I'll be sure to get a snapshot for the archives

Ok, all kidding aside, the old driver sticker is for others that are in view to render respect and get out of their way. The Japanese culture respect their elders, and as such, they rate special considerations. There's no joke about the "new" drivers, however. They are dangerous! So, forewarned is forearmed!
