Default Baby on Board Stickers

complete waste of time and annoying.

but this morning I saw a sticker which was definitely of use.

"Emarati on Board" - so I knew to expect no signals, wild lane changes etc etc.

I like looking at this the other way round........

"Look!!! That car in front!!! It DOESN'T have a "Baby On Board" sticker - let's ram him.........!!!"

Baby board stickers are useful. Tells me that the driver is a daft mumsy type who can talk about nothing but her kids & can't concentrate whilst driving.

But what is their purpose? To make you drive more carefully because there is a baby in the other car?

That was the point of my post - there is an implied assumption that other drivers don't need to be as careful if there ISN'T a baby on board......

No - Not so much bothered about their brat, but that their driving is likely to be erratic & thus a danger to me. Got it now?
