Did you know that elderly drivers in Japan are required to place a special mark on their cars? It's not a decoration; it's the "Koreisha mark," a multi-colored leaf-like or clover-like mark that indicates a driver is 75 years or older.

This mark has been in use since 1997, and its purpose is to alert other drivers to the presence of an elderly person driving, so they can treat them with patience and respect and yield to them if necessary.

The symbol has changed its shape over the years, now resembling a four-leaf clover. It represents wisdom, experience, and human frailty, and carries the message:

Be considerate, for the person in front of you is an elderly person with years of life past.
