Item #: SCP-347-FR
Threat Level: Yellow ●
Object Class: Safe/Uncontained
Special Containment Procedures: With SCP-347-FR's location currently unknown, an investigation supervised by Dr. Filigan to locate the object has been initiated. MTF Phi-16 ("The Broken Pots") is to be ready to launch the recovery operation for the object and to create a cover story at a moment's notice. The affected "A" sticker is then to be contained in a secured locker in the south wing of Site-Kybian. Experiments regarding SCP-347-FR are suspended until further notice.
Description: SCP-347-FR is an "A" sticker for young drivers. When affixed on a 4-wheeled vehicle, a humanoid entity (referred to as SCP-347-FR-1) appears in the front passenger seat of the vehicle. Further research with D-Class personnel revealed that the entity takes on the appearance of a person known by the owner of the vehicle who was killed in a vehicular accident. In the case that the owner of the vehicle has never known any person killed in those circumstances, SCP-347-FR-1 will take the appearance of a human corpse in an advanced state of decomposition, which makes the identification of the corpse impossible. It is to be noted that SCP-347-FR-1 is only visible from the outside of the vehicle. Its owner does not seem to be able to see the entity, regardless of the angle of view, including photographs and videos, though pictures of SCP-347-FR-1 can be taken.
Any attempt to sit on the front passenger seat fails, with the subject staying still in front of the opened car door claiming to not be able to engage in the action. The affected subject seems to be in a state similar to hypnosis.
It is possible to drive a vehicle with SCP-347-FR attached to it. However, any driving mistake or non-compliance with local traffic rules from the driver will result in various vehicle malfunctions making driving more complex. Should the driver commit more offenses, additional malfunctions will occur. In approximately 93% of the cases, the malfunctions will lead to an accident. The passenger(s) will always be the only victims and, if they survived, will demonstrate long term psychological trauma and will refuse to enter a motor vehicle. This effect also manifests with subjects who were already involved in an car accident in the past, even if they were not psychologically scarred from it. In 100% of the cases, the vehicle's damages make it inoperable.
After the accident, the "A" sticker no longer has any anomalous properties. SCP-347-FR's anomaly is then relocated to the nearest sticker. To date, SCP-347-FR effects have not manifested more than once on the same sticker.
SCP-347-FR was discovered by the Foundation when a link was established between several traffic accidents. Some investigation reports showed that some witnesses saw an additional person in the car before the accident in comparison with the number of individuals actually involved, while other reports specified that some witnesses saw a skeleton in the vehicle which wasn't found during the post-accident investigation. Several vehicle wrecks were retrieved by the Foundation, but none of those displayed any anomalous properties.
SCP-347-FR-1 during the retrieval of a car affected by SCP-347-FR.
SCP-347-FR was located when the police received a call from ████████ reporting a driver accompanied by a corpse in a car of the █████ brand. The undamaged vehicle was intercepted. The research of the anomaly's origin took 3 days until the "A" sticker was removed, after which the corpse was no longer visible from the outside of the vehicle.
The sticker has been attached to the service car of Agent ████ for testing purposes. A woman, later identified as his aunt deceased in 2013 in a pile-up, appeared on the passenger seat to the personnel who were here. Agent ████ claimed to not see anything. This test confirmed that the sticker was the origin of SCP-347-FR-1's appearance.

Here below are the Experiment Logs that seem to be the most relevent.
Experiment Log 347-A
Date: 07-13-2020
Subject: D-3567
Procedure: SCP-347-FR is attached to a car. D-3567 is instructed to get inside and follow the route programmed on the vehicle GPS. D-3567 doesn't have a driving licence.
Results: The subject attempted to start the engine several times, but was unable to rotate the ignition key. Agent ████ also attempted to rotate the key, but was unable to do it as long as D-3567 was sitting in the driver's seat. The subject was instructed to get out of the vehicle which was then successfully started. However, when the subject settled down at the driver's cab again, the key rotated by itself, switching off the engine.
(Note: This result was obtained with all of the subjects without a driving licence.)
Experiment Log 347-B
Date: 07-14-2020
Subject: D-9325
Procedure: SCP-347-FR is attached to a car. D-9325 is instructed to get inside and follow the route programmed on the vehicle GPS. Subject is escorted at a minimal distance of 10m at the front and back by the Agents Clifford and Drake. Subject can communicate with Dr. Mollina using a hands-free kit.

Dr. Mollina: Please enter the vehicle, switch on the ignition, and follow the route indicated by the GPS. You will travel under escort. If you try to escape, you will be terminated.
Subject moves closer to the vehicle, then suddenly stops.
D-9325: Oh shit! There's a dead body in your car!
Dr. Mollina: Don't pay attention to it, get in please.
D-9325: Who's that? Has he been here for a long time? No seriously, it must smell awful inside.
Dr. Mollina: There is nothing, it is just an illusion. Please enter the vehicle.
D-9325: It looks pretty real but… Yeah… okay. (Breath) Alright, I'll do it.
The subject opens the driver's door.
D-9325: Man! So there was really nothing? Did you put something in my food, or what?
Dr. Mollina: Please make the necessary adjustments for your drive and start the vehicle.
Subject settles in, switches on the ignition and drives for approximately 8 minutes before riding a solid line. He still drives for about 1 minute.
D-9325: Uh… excuse me.
Dr. Mollina: What's the matter?
D-9325: I can't turn off the windscreen wipers. Each time I turn them off, they start again.
Dr. Mollina: Since when?
D-9325: Not long ago. Like a minute.
(D-9325 doesn't turn on the indicator as he turns at a crossroad.)
Dr. Mollina: Leave them be and concentrate on the road.
D-9325: Yeah alri… Oh!
Dr. Mollina: Is there a problem?
D-9325: I can't see my speed, the counter doesn't work! What's this wreck you gave me?
(Subject enters a country road and exceeds the speed limit.)
D-9325: Please, can we stop on the roadside? Examine the car and I promise to finish the route.
Dr. Mollina: Denied. You have to finish the route, but you can slow down if you like to.
D-9325: Yeah, I'll do that cause it's scar… Wait what? Fucking shit! Oh no don't do that to me, you garbage! Shit the brake pedal is rock hard!
Dr. Mollina: Keep calm.
D-9325: (Beginning to scream) Calm? I'm in a piece of shit without any brakes! (kicking sounds) It's blocked, and the handbrake too! Tell your buddy in front of me to speed up, or else I'll hit him from be… screw it!
Subject overtakes Agent Clifford on the left.
Agt Clifford: Subject is passing me. Do I start the pursuit?
Dr. Mollina: Please readjust or you'll…
D-9325: (Yelling) Are you trying to kill me or what?! I don't have… The steering wheel! I can't turn anymore! Holly… Please, help me!
<End transcript>
Results: Subject rolled off the road for 200m before crashing into a tree at a speed of approximately 97km/h. At the arrival of the experiment team, SCP-347-FR-1 was no longer visible in the vehicle. Agent Clifford commanded the research of all "A" stickers near the accident. It has been quickly discovered that SCP-347-FR transferred to a sticker affixed on a parked car at the entrance of a nearby city. As of now, escort vehicles have to carry a young driver sticker on board.

Date: 07-18-2020
Subject: D-3250
Procedure: SCP-347-FR is attached to a car. D-3250 is instructed to get inside and follow the route programmed on the vehicle GPS. Subject is escorted at a minimal distance of 10m at the front and back by Agents Clifford and Drake. Subject can communicate with Dr. Mollina using a hands-free kit.
Results: As for the previous test, it led to an accident. However, SCP-347-FR-1 has been observed grabbing the steering wheel during the test.
Experiment Log 347-E
Date: 07-30-2020
Subject: D-4591
Procedure: SCP-347-FR is attached to a car. D-4591 is instructed to get inside to get inside and follow the route programmed on the vehicle GPS. Subject is escorted at a minimal distance of 10m at the front and back by Agents Clifford and Drake.
Results: Approximately 13 minutes after the beginning of the test, subject committed a slight speeding, rolling at 82km/h on a road limited to 80km/h. D-4591 nevertheless arrived at the destination, only reporting a slight gear lever resistance since the moment he committed the infraction.
Experiment Log 347-G
Date: 07/08/2020
Subject: D-1113
Procedure: SCP-347-FR is attached to a car. D-1113 is instructed to get inside and follow the route programmed on the vehicle GPS. Subject is escorted at a minimal distance of 10m at the front and back by Agents Clifford and Drake. Considering SCP-347-FR's observed effects, it has been judged useless to provide them with lethal weapons.
Results: After approximately 11 minutes, the escort went through a crossroad. When the subject was at the middle of the intersection, he turned right without warning and accelerated, even though he had been advised that he would be terminated if he tried to escape. Agents Clifford and Drake started to pursue the subject. D-1113's vehicle was found 4 minutes later sinking in a lake. The examination of the stickers shown that none of those carried by the escort changed into SCP-347-FR. No other vehicle comprising an "A" sticker were found in a 2km radius. It is more likely that it was recovered by the sticker of a moving vehicle which was closer to SCP-347-FR when the accident took place. Since this event, the object's location is unknown.
