Tiny people notification
Discussion
Am I the only one who gets wound up by the very twee 'Child / Tiny Person on board' back window signs?What are they all about? Do these people think that the Homicidal maniac following them and about to ram them off the road will read the notice and suddenly think 'Oh there's a kiddy in the car I'll pick on someone else'?
Or are they some kind of fertility status symbol 'We've got kids isn't that great' kind of statement.
I've yet to see a Cerbera with one installed I have to say. I was thinking about launching an 'alternative' range such as 'Baby behind wheel'.

They do work though.
I regulary ram cars from behind and run people off the road just for kicks, but when ever I see a sign like that I feel all guilty and drive round them. Errrrrrrrr wrong they bug the shit out of me and make me want to ram the bastards.
If the intention is to make people think and back off or increase their following distance it's crap and doesn't work there are just too many about to make them effective. On a side note I remember a few years ago one of the smaller petrol firms (probably gone bust now) used to have a picture on the back of their tankers of a small girl praying and sayin "please daddy get home safely" or similar and I actually thought that one was fairly good and worked.

I thought of having one that said "child driving car" or "baby at the wheel" too, after all it's perfectly correct and might explain the driving style........
In a similar vein, when visiting one of the supermarkets with my mother I once suggested she use the "parent and child" spaces.......
There used to be a Honda NSX running round Lincoln piloted by a very capable and pretty young lady with a babyseat in the front passenger seat and a "baby on board" sign. Not quite a Tiv, but fair enough eh ??

I saw a sign on the back of a car the other day which said something like 'crash into me and you'll pay for it' on a Hyundai blandwagon. Annoying thing was I had to drive up really close in order to read it
Thats like one of those no tailgating signs you see usually written really small
These baby on board things are bloody dangerous. They were designed as a safety thing, so in the case of a bad accident, recue teams would know there's a baby in the car (not always easy to see in a mangled wreck) and go pick them out. BUT do these stickers get removed when there's no baby on board...? Do they knackers. This consequently puts rescue teams in excessively dangersous situations searching for a baby on board in a burning car or whatever, when there' isn't actually a kid in there. Conclusion...? They now ignore the baby on board stickers making them worthless. I hate them. I think we hould all go round and stick over them with PH stickers. Better araldite them on for extra security - wouldn't want them blowing off...!
These signs make me laugh.. I used to think they were pathetic... now I just laugh because they're displayed by people who don't realise they have a sign in their car saying "I am a pathetic retard"...
It's probably to do with the larger changes that occur when people make the misguided decision to reproduce.
Horrifying physiological changes seem to take place in both parents, seemingly rendering them incapable of logical thought and adult conversation.
So they display a sign in the back of their car so you know that the woman driving has left her brain in a pile of sludge on the floor at the local maternity ward and the bloke driving, all the while greaving for his sacrificed sports car budget, in a state of disbelief, shock and sustained sensory depravation.

I could never have kids. Would wreck my sports car options.
Just marry someone who doesn't like fast cars but doesn't mind you buying or building one.
Then have a son who everytime he goes past the garage says "v-voom, v-voom. Daddy" and insists on sitting in the TVR. All at the age of 18 months.
Broke his heart last week when I had to tell him that it had been sold! Then gave him the Ultima brochure. He now takes it to his mum and points at the GTR and says "DADDY".
I rest my case!
