I dont understand why people say JDM when it means beginner driver.

I know what you mean, I usually see those with "Jdm as f***" sticker next to them. I understand some people use it to show their love for jdm, but more often than not they don’t even know what it means. Even if they do know and they still put it it’s kind of dumb to me because they change the meaning of it. Its kind of like the whole "SWAG" thing that went on in the USA a while ago. People used it to say "Cool" when in reality it was a acronym back in the 70s I believe, that stood for "Secretly we are gay".

I thought JDM meant "Japanese Domestic Motorsport" I understand the beginner driver thing is a bit odd.. but saying "JDM as f*ck" is like saying your car is straight from Japan’s car scene… Maybe that’s just me though

Yeah It’s like an Australian P plate or an L plate in the UK.

Same with SWAG - it’s "secretly we are gay" and nowadays young people think it means something like "cool, nice" etc. Regarding this logo, I think, it’s something, like putting 316i badge on M3 - here you stick beginner driver on drift machine.

In Japan they put it on the cars in an ironic fashion. As in "lol i’m a new driver in my 2jz chaser drifting on public roads"

Lol pretty much! JDM is typically driven by beginner drivers.

It is used in Japan as beginner magnets meaning, "Hey, I don’t know totally 100% wtf I am doing so be weary." It is not 100% mandatory to get one but if you get into a accident without one in your first 1-2 years of driving, then you could be in a little more trouble than you need to be.
