They mean „Apprenti“ which is french for „beginner“, so new french driver probably.
A
No, that one is only relevant in France. It shows that there is a young driver in the vehicle, which means that they’re restricted with different speed limits.
Anfänger, a beginner, a noob, someone who you let drive bad and stay away as we were him or her many years ago. 🫶
It was more common in the past, this car could be from Austria or other EU.
Propably. Its not a law or anything. Some people just like putting „Anfänger“, „A“ or different variations.
Probably a car with a French plate?
Yes it means New Driver (Apprenti) legally requirement for new drivers in the Probation Period which is 3 years in France.
It could stand for “Anfänger” which means Beginner. But honestly have never seen something like this on a car before.
I could be missing something here, but an “A” typically means “Anfänger”, so in other words they just recently got their license and might make mistakes
Another fun fact, if you see an A on a giant truck, then it means “Abfall”, and they are disposing something
In Germany some people try to use to Show they are beginners but it is not suggested. I am not sure it is allowed. Normaly the A sign is for lorrys that do waste disposal.
You see these alot in Saarland, which is near France. It means the driver is a beginner. It’s used to warn other people to be more cautious.
Yes, beware “Arschloch” driver ahead
Adulterer 👀 (just a joke, but look up “the Scarlet letter “if you don’t already know it )

In germany officially a big black A is used for trucks hauling trash (Abfall), but some driving beginners add it to their car (Anfänger)
He wants to show off that he is a top-notch (1A) driver ist. /s
doesn’t mean anything in germany even tho should be mandatory… A standing for Anfänger instead of “Apprentis”
I can’t imagine that such a label would be OK from a data protection perspective in Germany 🤣
The scarlet letter
Agolf car
Mir wurde in der Fahrschule beigebracht: A steht für Abfall
A as in Asshole
Yes this absolutely means “Anfänger” (beginner) in Germany. Usually the sign is square and placed inside the rear window still the meaning is the same. But in Germany you are not required to use it after you get your licence.
French. New drivers.
Anfänger=Beginner
Abfall lable on waste disposal vehicles
Bestimmt das Brandmahl des Anfängers.
Kenne nur N und L aus Irland.
The same for us in Greece N is for the new driver that drivers and it is mandatory for 2 years or 1 year i am not sure…
yes, it symbolizes that the owner of the car has no sense for aesthetics whatsoever
German plate and registered I’d assume
A was Anfänger when i was a kid, but havnt seen it in ages
A for Anfänger (beginner).
Unlike some other countries it is not required by law in Germany but some novice divers voluntarily put those stickers on to communicate something like “Sorry, I’m new to the game, please bear with me.”
Danke für informationen.
In Saarland you often see these Stickers on Cars with a german plate, those are for new Drivers and are not a requirement in Germany but in France since lots of especially young people from Saarland often drive to France to shop a tiny bit Cheaper or because a Family member Lives there they often have Those Stickers.
I was once told that that means foreigners
Same in tunisia. IT IS for driving beginners.
Abfallbetrieb. Ah, that is not the rubbish truck, they have an A on them.
It is a sign for beginners. Its not mandatory in Germany but you can put that magnetic sticker in Germany to let others know you are a new driver.
