this is a more sensible, better spelt version of an argument on cs, by a different generation as well more than likely

I once got overtaken on the M6 toll by a woman in a CRV on her phone, doing about 100mph with her kids in the back. She also had a sign with something like 'Back Off! Kids on board!' written on it hanging in the back window.

I suspect the least of those childrens' problems were the cars behind.
Ah, but at least she was using the Baby On Board sign in the manner in which it is intended.

They are supposed to be to alert emergency services that a small person may be inside a wreck, so in some perverse way she was being a responsible parent.
Sounds very sensible. I'm sure the double sided sticky tape which attaches it to the rear windscreen will remain unaffected in a crash (rather like the black box of an aircraft).

These signs exist because when people have a baby they tend to go slightly insane, and want the entire world to know that they have a baby. The signs are NOTHING to do with 'alerting' emergency services to anything. That's the simple truth.

I was once following a Blue Corsa C, with stickers all over, advertising the womans Stripper buisness. Had to get along side to take a look. ERGHHH!! She was built like a bloke, my mate was in stitches!

my mate has one on his escort estate which his girlfriend put on.

funny thing is, he always has it on even when he's coming to work and leaving work.

he's a 24 year old who looks like a nazi thug with a bald head - it reads ''VIP on board and Princess on board''

The only reason people have them is so they can park in parent & child spaces & not get fined.

I've got 8, just to make sure.

Don't they come free with a pink steering wheel cover and Playboy sticker?

I'm sure most parents don't even know what they're for or why they're sticking them in their cars. It's just a case of 'Have child, need stupid hanging sign'.

Errr, you can get fined in certain car parks now actually

Disabled & parent child spaces are watched & they have their own wardens dishing out £60 fines, which are donated to charity.

Should all be like this imo, boils my piss when you see a orange badge holder searching for a space as the official ones are filled with 4x4's & other shit.

i agree about disabled ones, well to a certain extent, theres no reason why someone whos deaf in one ear or something like that needs to have a massive space so close to the front door.

but parents and kids spaces can gtf completely

I want to see a disabled person who can't have children sue the supermarket for discriminating against them in deciding who gets to use the space.
