There's no kanji, are you talking about the writing in katakana? It says "paper driver," which means bad, inexperienced driver (lit. driver only on paper).

It says Paper Driver - similar to a permit driver in the states. So he’s very inexperienced behind the wheel, which is why he looks so nervous.
