I've never been a fan of them, but only because while announcing precious cargo may make some drivers more cautious, announcing precious cargo may make nepiophiles follow you home.

Some people are crazy enough to follow you to your house, too. I've had people try to follow me home before because I was driving the speed limit (people get pissed about that), although what I usually do in those situations is park next to a random house, wait for the creep to look at the address and leave, and then I drive back home. You know, that way that home owner gets stalked.

I drive sometimes 15 mph below the speed limit and never had something like that happen to me, but I live in a stand your ground state, so maybe it prevents people from doing that shit when I drive so slow.
 
People that put them are their car are still cunts.

Especially you Wilson. Just because you're VIP Exec does not make it ok.

I love you babe xxx
 
I must admit I hate them as well. I never put anything on my car when my kids were little. I figured it's mostly about my driving not anyone else. If someone's going to run into you it'll happen whether or not you have a sign on your rear window - it simple physics.
 
I heard that the Baby On Board signs were created to let emergency services know that there was a baby to look for in the case of an accident. Of course, people are lazy buggers and don't take the signs down when the baby is not on board, rendering the whole thing useless.

Well Christ, I don't take my "Disabled" hanger down when I am not using it either.

I have had that happen a time or two. I generally lead the follower on a goose chase into a blind turn and meet them with a machete out when they round the blind turn.

It's happened to me so many times around where I live in California. There was one soccer mom several years ago who pulled up next to my car after tailgating me and shouted about the speed limit being a suggestion. She then floored the pedal into an elementary school zone.

I'll never understand that, the whole mentality of Speed Limit = Minimum Speed. People drive like that no matter how high gasoline prices will get and they will still complain. I remember back during the high prices of 2007 and 2008 no one cared they all were driving 75-80 in a 70, instead of something like 55.

You just made me remember that I once bought a yellow diamond shaped sign saying "keep your distance i'm drunk" or something like that, and I secretly put it on the back of my friends car. A month went by before he noticed the sign.
 
Admitting that I didnt' read every word of every post above so if it was already said then sorry.

One big reason people do it is for fire and rescue. I have heard of fire depts etc.. encouraging such signs as well as signs noting a count.

Its just like when you go to a hotel and they ask how many people are staying in your room. (Well cheap hotels might want to charge you extra, but for mid/nicer hotels) they need to know because if there is a fire they hand that data to the fire department and they can use it as a guideline to know how many people they are looking for.

Im sure there are people proud to be a parent (and as a parent I can say Internet Marketing is a cake walk and parenting is the single most challenging job I have ever faced, no customer can ever be as annoying as a 3yr old at times. Love my kids but they drive me insane sometimes).

So some people are just like "look I made it" No different then people above feeling the need to call names or make fun of the people that hang the signs. I mean really, there is basic psychology here.

Its never occurred to me that I would slow down or be any more careful around such a car then I normally am. If that was the intent then they fail in my book, honestly its never even crossed my mind, lol

No I don't have one, I don't have anything on my van (aka kidmobile) or my truck (4X4 full size aka fun mobile). Vehicles are tools, their purpose is to get you from point A to Point B efficiently, safely, at a nice temperature, ideally comfortably, and allow me to listen to either music or an audio book along the way. Then again Im a minimalist with everything from a vehicle to my house to my office.

Anyway, why do you do anything? Really, look at 10 things you do in your life every day and I promise you can find at least 10 people that would call you a cu*t for doing it. But all is well because you could find at least 10 people that that would make fun of those 10 people for stuff they do.

mudbutt nailed it, I have way to many problems to worry about a sticker on someone elses car or be wasting this much time typing about in on a forum... lol

Cheers!
 
Does anyone else fucking hate these stupid signs people put on their rear window?

"kids on board, slow down"
"Baby on board"

I do not know what purpose they serve. They put them on there as if to say "I ising my blood pressure and I have no idea why. If I.

What is this about and why do people have them? Why should I slow down or drive carefully because of your kids...

Why can't I do 60mph in a 20 zone like I normally do. It's evolution, if your kid dies because it's retarded enough to stand in the road it's better for man kind it happens.

What is this about and why do people think it's ok to
I came on BHW to learn about making money. Not to read about stupid people crying over insignificant sht..reading this article was the biggest waist of my day and i am sure it offended alot of parents
 
Its especially annoying when they don't have kids and trust lots of people put the sticker on their cars without having any kids in the first place.

Well you are good at finding old threads.
 
I don't mind the 'Baby on Board' signs so much. I've seen others mentioning how the driver is a proud pet owner. Honestly couldn't give a fuck if you trained a dog how to talk, no one needs to see these pish signs.
 
Don't knock these cheesy car signs, I have a nice little sideline in vinyl car graphics.

Wouldn't put them on my own car though!!
