    The only thing that really annoys me in cars is when people fill their back window up with stuffed animals. I remember this one junky altima that had nearly the entire back window filled up (and they were driving 20 in a 35).

    ahh the baby on board sign. hate the hell out of them, but my ex runs one in her car with our son.

    on the other hand....got behind a car late one night went from 60 down to 35 in a 55 zone, woman in back seat proceeds to point at baby on board sign... i'm think to myself "ok baby on board did not put gun to your head and make you slow down to 35". Woman is trying her hardest to signal me to pass, cant oncoming traffic and i'm devoting my attention to her so i dont run their clunker over. then the greatest baby on board sign moment in my life. she opens the car door and waves her hand out the door for me to pass yet again with oncoming traffic. Finally able to pass, car runs 60-65 again

    When it's dark, raining, the car is smashed up, and tons of shit is going on. Visual cues work wonders.

    Like a Baby on board sticker.

    That and if I see it before we exit the rig, I know to possibly get the pediatric kits ready.

    Glad someone else said this- Those signs aren't going to change anything for another driver- but in a rescue situation (just like the Pet and Kid stickers for houses) it can make a HUGE difference.

    On another note- Who gives a fuck what other people put on their cars or how much of a horrible person/hypocrite they are??

    You seem to have spent a TON of time observing/getting upset at this other driver- What was going on around you at that time?? Did the sticker somehow prevent you from driving safely or impede your progress?? Cause it seems that you are whining about something you can't do shit about....and where there are so many things you could change in the world- You energy might be better spent else where??


    I hate all bumper stickers- Took the dealer plate frame and all the stickers (inlcuding the badges) off my truck and scion. My bike still has the stickers but that's cause it would look like shit without them...but if folks want to have stickers on their rides from two presidential elections ago right next to their satan worshipping membership decal and their happy family stick fuckers- Who am I to give a shit??

    I don't think the signs are directed to the other cars meaning for them to be more careful, i think the purpose of them is to alert the other drivers that you are carrying a child and that you might be driving a little slower than the rest of the people...

    I personally don't use one of those stickers, but when I have the baby on the truck I change my driving style to a defensive driving, yes the sticker is stupid, but who cares??
