Fluffy pink dice in cars

MikeyTaylor

Do you like it or do you lump it?

I don't have them myself but they're harmless. I don't understand soft toys on the back shelf though, or Baby On Board stickers. It's not like I would be planning to crash into a car but seeing the Baby On Board sticker made me change my mind.

Can't beat a Padre Pio sticker.

Holy medals and a rosary hanging from the rear view.

I think modern A-pillars are like tree trunks as it is without further obstructing your vision even more with trinkets. They'e a serious bloody nuisance at best and a hazard at worst, IMO.

I have black ones in my car. I like to touch them.

Tom Mann Centuria

I want a stick on Garfield.

I'm quite fond of a dashboard Jesus myself.

Surely baby on board just means expect erratic driving and even less use of indicators than usual?

I like the Hawaiian hula dolls.

Theyre also so emergency services know there is a potentially crushed baby seat in a serious crash. Grim.

What ever became of good, old fashioned, Nodding Dogs?

Makes me wonder what aristotle would think.

Don't like anything hanging from the rear view mirror. Do they do dice stickers? I'd cope with that. Dice one side and padre pio the other.

Tell me how

Nodding dogs? Pffft.

I swear on any deity you care to mention this is true.

This evening, a guy in a transit was driving behind me. He had his dog with him. A Jack Russell terrier. The dog was loose, in the cab, on top of the dash, running right and left on it.
Seriously, the dog was looking out both side windows by running along the dash from one side to the other and then stopping to look out and bark. You could literally see the dogs head and mouth motion as it barked. If you're thinking the dog must have been blocking the drivers view when directly in front of him you'd be 100% correct. I could hardly see the driver when the dig was at that side.

You know how loud the bark of Jack Russell is? Driver must have had 2 ruptured eardrums.

I tried to get a video by holding my phone over my shoulder (at traffic light) but failed completely.

Seen people with dogs on their lap before, never anything like this. Gobsmacked.

In some countries, the medics are trained to look out for such indicators as the baby on board stickers on multiple vehicle crashes and will check them first.

Buddy Christ?

An old double barrel laying across the lenght of the dash, with a few shells rolling around.

Windows down, with the lord is my saviour on the rear window.

And say if the person driving is just popping out to the shop for a milk or bread and the kid is at home with the mother do they take down their kid on board sticker and update it on each journey so as not to confuse the emergency services?do they fcuk
Them stickers are a total waste of time.thats some myth I reckon.
Some of them are plastic signs held on with a small sucker thing.god forbid but if you were in an accident at any more than 3 miles an hour the chance of that small sucker holding on are slim. If the car rolled a few times up the road it probably wouldn’t even be left in the vehicle not to mind stuck on the glass.

Lump it.

So if a paramedic sees a princess on board sticker do they waste time trying to find the stricken princess before attending the other less important than the under 18 year old humans.

The power of negative thinking. Paramedics are well trained and more than capable of checking and they would rather check and find no baby then miss one

Ted Plain

Drive Cortinas, fur-trimmed dashboards
Stains on the seat, in the back of course!

A baby seat in a car would be a far more visible indicator than a small 3'' piece of plastic which could go anywhere in an accident.

Urban myth that people keep on propagating.

Those stupid stick figure family stickers, more cloying than any dice.

Also reindeer antlers and noses on your car at Xmas.... now there's even an Easter bunny variety.

Can't stand those BABY ON BOARD stickers, just narcissitic arseholes saying
WE ARE FERTILE !!!

Yes we get it, you have a son/daughter/insert other 56 genders here .... and they are just fantastic.

Now remind me when they are grown up so I can drive like a maniac while behind you ..

Invariably it's a gigantic 'kid carrier' SUV with questionable 4wd ability.

Its funny how angry some people get because of something someone has in their car. Improper lane use, not indicating and using mobile phones are the true mark of the arsehole driver rather than fluffy dice.

The amount of people losing it because of plushies or Baby on board stickers on someone else's car. Keep your eyes on the traffic, folks or do any of these physically hurt you?

If a Baby on board sticker can lower the chance of an accident even by a tiny bit because people would take more care, it's very well worth to put them up. I've been in two car crashes that weren't my fault, one because of an impatient driver tailgating me. It happens so fast and I was lucky there was no kid in the car.

Mint Sauce

What about your county colours hanging from the rear view mirror?

They haven’t a notion of reducing the chance of an accident.they serve no purpose only to make money for the people selling them.
If they actually do anything it’s increase the chance of an accident by taking up space on the window which would otherwise be available for observation.
No paramedics or emergency personnel would have the time to check windows for stickers if they were attending an accident.
It’s a load of sh1te the lot of it
