in HATING 'little person on board' signs in car's rear windows?

um, i quite like mine, as i think that a nasty bloke in an escort or white van MIGHT be less likely to speed up behind you with his lights on full beam if a baby was on board.

am i being optimistic?

Oh my god I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate those things- you might as well put a sign in your back window reading 'sorry driver behind me for my erratic driving but i am spoonfeeding a yoghurt to the child in the back seat whilst searching through the glove compartment for a baby wipe and I am also aware that my massive frizzy hair is blocking your view but it is not my fault'.

Sparkly - only if it isn't on the back of a two-seater sports convertible...

smug bastards, is what I always think....

Going at the chavtastic elements on show here....

yes the "Mum's Taxi" are esp. awful..and so wrong..if it was "Mum's Taxi" shouldn't she be comfy on the back seat being driven around???

Surely all such car signs and stickers are naff. It's a bit like the person who shoves their music at you "insisting" you to like it....or in this case share their "sense of humour"..

Sparkly - yours is OK but all the others are CRAP.
Little Princess on board - I think not.

best one i saw years ago when they first came out "when the going gets tough the tough go shopping" I know makes me laugh though.

don't believe you about the montesorri you are having a laugh!! loath them too tacky tasteless . Don't have one. Although my d/d wants pink car seat so no doubt when she see's princess sticker on board. Cannot do it no

I have 'disabled passenger on board, please leave 8ft for my wheelchair' Is that ok??

I hate the things! Never seen the purpose in them! And the correlation between those signs and appalling driving is just so close as to be scary!

I think the correct response is to think "Thanks for telling me. I will refrain from driving into the back of your car, putting my life and my no claims bonus in jeopardy. I will rear-end some other poor bugger"

Glad he pointed out that he had show dogs on board otherwise I would happily have smashed into the back of him at 50MPH

Actually- contrary to the 'baby on board' signs, the show dog ones are there to explain that the driver might be driving 'carefully' because they are transporting animals long distance which you wouldn't know otherwise like with a horsebox which is obviou IYKWIM

Hate them hate them hate them - in fact a coupel fo weeks ago I started a thread cause I found one which said "the child in front is a Montessori educated child"
WTF????

I bloody hate those signs!!!

LMAO @ MissGolightly!! You really made me LOL

MP, we were behind a show dogs sign the other day. DH and I both thought it most bizarre but then I concluded that perhaps the dogs were a child substitute of some kind.

I agree with Malory here. In fact when we had a high speed smash on the M6 a few years back, our sign ended up blowing around on said motorway as the back window of the car smashed. Not much good and I didn't bother replacing it.

having thought about it havealso seen slut on board which is infinately worse!!!

I always remember Kirsty Young putting them into room 101 on tv and saying 'why don't you just dangle your genitals out the window and be done with it '(or something along those lines) and my respect for her increased enormously.

I was behind a tin can Fiat being driven at break neck speed on the ring road yesterday, with "Princess on Board" AND "Cheeky monkey on board" signs, doubtlessly obscuring most of the view. Can"t help thinking having those is not a good reason to drive like a bat out of hell in a potentially crumply car.

Not unreasonable at all, I say.

I was driving behind one with "SHOW DOGS ON BOARD"

I mean how was I supposed to respond?

I thought that was ODD

" little princess on board ones, mainly because teenage/young drivers around my way use them to describe themselves,"

Didn't know that, Sleepless, but as a feminist I deplore it - have they no self-respect?

i dont like the little princess on board ones, mainly because teenage/young drivers around my way use them to describe themselves, now those signs are there to alert emergency services that there is a child in the car in case of an accident, not great if they are looking for a child that doesnt exist!!!

oh and spoilt brat on board acctually meaning a child........

Perhaps her parents find it hard to remember what she looks like? .

About as sensible as those named alicebands IMHO.

omg this has reminded me of what I sw yesterday, you would not believe.

A VW golf, with a princess on board sticker.............and the suns shade had a photo of the obvious princess enlarged on it. bleurgh. I haven't read the whole thread and I hope I haven't offended anyone.but why???????
