KLANG – In Malaysia, displaying a “P” license sticker on your car’s windscreen means that the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued you a probationary driving license (PDL). You are also required by law to display it so that others are aware of your lack of driving experience.
Many would opt to avoid “P” license holders as they tend drive much slower and erratically due to their inexperience. However, a netizen named Lex Chen shared an incident he had with one such driver which brightened his day.
In his Facebook post, Lex shared how it all started with a green Perodua Axia that had the “P” sticker on display. As he approached the car, he saw a note pasted on its rear windscreen and immediately became curious.
On the note, it reads: “Please forgive my poor driving skills” in three languages, English, Malay, and Chinese.
“P = polite. First time seeing something like this. This guy must be the most humble driver in all of Klang.”
The post has since garnered an impressive 1.7 likes and over 3.5k shares at the time of writing. It also received many comments praising the driver for his/her humble attitude on the road.
One wrote: “No matter how terrible his/her driving skill is, how can you be mad after seeing this note? Hopefully, he/she can improve his driving skills soon.”
While some found the driver to be overly polite, they commended his/her honesty about his/her driving skills.
Others joked that the driver’s politeness was “to the max”.
