The way this article reads it sounds like a sticker on the license plate is the direct reason for the reduction. If this is true then if I put a big red sticker on my back pants pocket will I see a reduction in people kicking me in the backside?
I am originally from France, and we have had this rule for a long time. I think it is a good idea to put a decal on the cars of new drivers. It is a good reminder for those that are driving around them, and if it is decreasing the number of accidents then all the better.

Accident rates are per passenger mile or per vehicle mile and taking the miles driven out of the equation provides a flawed result.

Before long, some lawyer will file a discrimination suit stating that the decals cause embarrassment and humiliation to teen drivers.
