    Anyone change their driving when they see this sign on the back window of a car?
    Do the drivers of the same cars drive differently if they have a baby in the car?This is the purpose of the sign ?

    When there's a baby on board sign, and no baby in the car? You can't explain that.

    Might increase the chances of people not driving up the hole of the car that has the sign on it.

    Driving up a hole got them there in the first place.

    All they do is give new parents the chance to say they have a baby.

    There's a baby in the car,who gives a shite?

    The point of them is to show off that your genitals work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,798 ✭✭✭Mr. Incognito


    Think they'd take the poor fuc£er off the roof and put him in the back.

    And why are they all stuck to the back of little micras.

    Don't have a sprog until you can afford a proper soccer mom car and I can hate you properly

    Distracted driver on board stickers is how I see them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭131spanner


    Nah, doesn't make a bit of a difference.

    Ach, saying they're just to show off they have a kid can be as bad as smug parents.

    Their purpose is to ask the driver behind not to tailgate. And don't they have a purpose for emergency services also, in case of an accident?

    Yummy Mummy On Board stickers.:mad:

    So yummy that the driver apparently ate them.

    Also increases the chances of getting followed home by a paedophile, no?

    Probably had them with a basil and elderflower dip and a glass of jacobs creek with the girlies.

    My god if there was not a sign people would be ramming cars left right and centre.. but because you have a sign that stops people .

    Deliberately endanger a child by reducing braking distance? Seems logical.

    Sure they do when people never take them out they would be looking for an invisible child then ?

    "Baby on board, lunatic driving".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 882 ✭✭✭ygolometsipe


    personally I wouldn't hang the sign. I always find that after a few beers, its very harder to drive while reading an important sign... like come on, common sense people!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Thought them stickers were made to let emergency services who would be investigating or at a car that went off road that there is potentially a baby in the car.

    I can see how it might be upsetting for a woman who can't have kids or has lost one.
    Never understood the purpose of the sign

    Nope and why? But I do find that some drivers that have them displayed, could do with a few driving lessons.

    Exactly, give them extra space , aecoectvth to drive slower than normal and be erratic due to the potential of distraction

    Ah now, if people followed that to the letter they wouldn't take their kids outside for fear of upsetting people.

    I know people find the signs ridiculous but there is a purpose to them other than "I have a child".

    And that’s what the people that make the signs tell you :P do allot of people still wear them coloured bands on there wrist ? so why do they make dog on board ones and so on too
