Been saying that for years. I literally LMAO the first time I saw someone driving around with the Shoshinsha on their car because I knew what it meant and obviously that person driving the car did not.

It gets bleeped.
designed to warn other drivers that the marked driver is either not very skilled or lacking driving fundamentals like judgement, vision and reflexes, either due to inexperience or old age
I actually think its only proper that they use them so we can tell, and be warned about who they are. I do generally avoid these people with those badges. Its pretty useful honestly, just like a bulls-eye on your forehead.

Yeah those things kill me. I spent a lot of time working on jdm isht when I first got in to this. Waiting. Ordering. Etc. These days there's so many cars floating around with parts on them already (from guys like me) that all these damn noobs think they're jdm.
Hell I had mad JDM isht and I still wasn't JDM. That's why I want a real one one of these days. Be like Aaron. LOL!
I crack up when I see those things. I'm sure the folks in Japan are laughing like crazy.

It was kinda funny back in '01 when it was done in a tongue-in-cheek manner, but it's been played out for years. A girl from Hachioji I went out with back in the day was absolutely puzzled when she saw that mark on a highly modded WRX on the Peninsula (this was maybe circa '03 or so? Krinkov and all the other folks that attended the SF J-Town Benihana lunch meet met her before LOL).
