Coming back from my parents on Christmas day at 3pm (wanted to leave before dark) with my wife and new baby.
Got off M50 motorway J15 onto Cornelscourt hill road. Noticed a CN reg car suddenly right behind me. (Wasn't there when I exited motorway) On my bumper. I have "baby on board" sign on the rear window and my wife was in back too. This guy was 2 or 3ft from my bumper when it's clear I can't move over or pull in etc. I was driving at the speed limit and this guy was behind me less than 20 seconds, I'm certain, so no reason for him to be driving like this. I immediately decided to get out of this persons way as early as possible. 50m ahead is a small single lane roundabout. I indicate right to go around it to let him go on straight ahead, but this toolshed races by me the wrong way (counter clockwise) on the roundabout and misses me by 1or 2 feet as I was turning.
Why. I mean seriously. At times like that I feel quite angry. If I was on my own I'd have followed him to get full reg. Mind you, if I was on my own I'd not have been half as bothered as I was with my baby on board.
I hope he is proud. He is just a statistic in the making. I just hope he doesn't take out a young family in his actions.
Ahhhh... That's better. Chest lighter. Merry Christmas.

Every time I see one of those baby on board stickers I get out the way of the car ASAP. Without fail the car is driven by a nutter.

Christmas Day - the guy was likely pissed.

It's not that, it's if they don't find the baby straight away they might think there isn't one. The sign is a help is all.

If you have twins do you use two stickers?
Do you get a special "twins on board" sticker?
What if you only have one sticker and are in a crash?
Will they only rescue/check for one child?

I'd give emergency service staff more credit and say they don't rely on stupid stickers
and would expect they have procedures in place (like checking number of child seats).

Baby On Board sign...the second most powerful part of a car...second only to hazard lights for when you have to park illegally.

I always presumed those signs were to indicate to other road users that said driver was likely suffering sleep deprivation and should be treated with caution.

They don't rely on them I never said they did. All I'm saying is if you're a parent you may choose to buy one for the purposes I've been describing, if you buy it for the purpose of making other drivers drive carefully you're deluded. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy as you've posted there all the confusion over it. It's stupid as all bumper sticker are. Now I'm still searching cos I know I've read a case where it worked before

What those signs mean to me is. .

If you Park next to me I'll destroy your car with my door..

Or the other gem..

I'll pull a 4ft dent down the side of your car with my pointlessly large sh/t wagon and drive off without a care. .

Every time someone says "I was driving at the speed limit " its usually followed by a tale of being tailgated.

Remember kids, if you ever catch yourself saying that everybody else is something, its actually you.

Sorry about that OP - Harvey Normal only had one 52" telly left at €499 - I thought you were racing me for it.

Baby on board signs are just novelty stickers with no real meaning. If they were for the emergency services then surely they would be mandatory.

If only they'd put a baby on board sticker on the Titanic.

Ah yes, because of course tailgating always makes the person in think 'oh gee-wiz that person must be in a hurray let me speed up' rather than f**k you asshole welcome to 45...40...35...

Theyre there so the people who ring the emergency services can tell them that the car has a babay on board sticker.

Also, they make an excellent gift for people who have just had a baby, but aren't close friends of yours.

Made me smile.

Regarding the baby on board sign, I shouldn't have mentioned it. It's irrelevant and obviously doesn't affect someone's decision to drive up your ar#e. Point taken y'all. Having a baby on board or the sign to indicate such does NOT lessen your chance of being rear ended. (Someone made millions off those little yellow triangles though. Genius. lol).

I'd drive just as close behind a car with that sign as I would behind a glanza with two fast and furious junkies on board. Fact. Not really. I wouldn't personally, but then again being a parent changes your perspective too. As does losing someone in a road accident or any other life experience you care to mention. It's all subjective, therefore the sign is totally pointless most of the time. Omit it from the original post and just take the story as me being sour someone almost ran me off road. Maybe they were on their way to the hospital though. And therefore it's justifiable taking risks like this with others.

I heard that bit and got all revved up coming off the motorway, then there's this dill crawling in a Micra with a "Boobies on Burd" sign in the back window - I was nipping round for a quick gander before flying up for the telly. Then it dawned on me they might have their eyes on the same prize - I headed them off at the roundabout. Never thought he'd get snotty, in fairness. Worse still, the telly was already sold. Lying aussie git.

I always treat those baby on board signs as a sort of pre-warning, its usually stuck to some wrecked 7 seater with 26 kids in the back and a wrecked mother with sick all over her clothes whose main concern is not driving.
