To all of you douchebag parents out there driving your cars who expect me to take you seriously with your “baby on board” signs: maybe you should think about putting your god damn cell phone away while driving around with your precious little bundle in the backseat. You expect me to kill myself to avoid your car while you’re yapping on your cellphone, obviously distracted. Parents like you make me so fucking angry.

And those who are smoking and talking on a cell phone.
Get an air horn installed… it’ll scare the shit out of them.
almost as bad as the dumbasses that bike around on main roads towing their babies behind them in tents on wheels, basically.
So, if the “Baby on Board” signs mean we’re supposed to be more careful around the cars with those signs, does that mean we’re supposed to hit the cars without them? What, exactly, is the purpose of those signs?
after some long, hard deliberation, I think I’ve found the answer.
I believe you get more points for hitting a car with a baby on board… right?
kinda like you get more points for hitting a nun than just your average joe.
other than that, I can only see it as a way of telling the driver “you’re about to hit a baby AND everyone else in the car” as you shred them with your rad/transmission/engine/etc…
Amen, sister or brother! Amen!
I was just thinking about this with the Pickup Truck accident bitch. Why is it that you immediately have to mention that you have a kid when an accident has happened/almost happened. Is this supposed to make the person feel worse? As if hitting you by yourself would have been ok?
Because people freak out over the safely of their kids. You probably would to if you had a kid.
I would like to see demolition derby between the “mobile speedbump” and “baby on board” drivers. That would be an interesting one.
I am pretty sure the sign is to inform police or paramedics that are responding to the scene of an accident, that there may be children in the car. Children become a priorty in that case, and are rescued or taken care of first.
Kirbul,
You explanation makes very little sense. At the scene of an accident, police or paramedics would look into the car and determine that there was a child on board. The car seat would be an automatic giveaway. They’re not gonna go looking for a little thing on the window that says “baby on board”, especially if the window’s been smashed.
What it is is a marketing gimmick which gives the lemmings a false sense of security. Maybe they should contact NASA and investigate whether the Martian Lander’s airbag system is available in case of violent collisions.
I agree with raphemer
