free baby on board sign

  • I've always thought these signs were just about the dumbest invention of the 20th century.

    If you're that bothered about owning one, why not make your own out of marker pen, paper and blu tac....or maybe that would look dumb?

    I want a sticker that says "driver on board".

    I saw one that said "Ex husband in boot!" lol!

    If it just stops one or two drivers from driving up the a~~e of my car then it has done its job in my view. I know not everyone thinks like that but when I see one in the window of a car in front of me, i keep my distance just a little bit more! And yes, I am proud to be a mum so if it makes people aware of that whats the harm??

    Many's the time I've thought twice about ramming my car up someone's rear risking my No claims Bonus, not to mention my life and the lives of my beloved husband and son, because I've suddenly realised there's a baby in front of me!!! Believe me, after 15 yrs of trying for a baby & numerous IVF attempts NO ONE on this planet is prouder to be a mum than me, but I don't expect that other drivers care too hoots! I keep my distance of any car in front, life's too precious for us all!!!!!

    Me and my wife having been trying for a baby on board sticker for 2 years now.

    My wife and I didn't even want a sticker then much to our surprise and chagrin one turned up out of the blue.

    my little one and i like to say thanks for the baby on board
  • I wasnt going to get one of these stickers when I had my DD, as thought the same as a previous member; "oooh they've had sex!!"... but thought hell, why not. If it just stops one or two drivers from driving up the a~~e of my car then it has done its job in my view. I know not everyone thinks like that but when I see one in the window of a car in front of me, i keep my distance just a little bit more!

    how are the rest of us meant to go on? i swear the sights i see on the roads are hair raising at times, but isn't that part and parcel of the territory?

    point is, if someone is driving like an idiot, thats their lookout, they will be the one who is blamed on insurance, or is caught by the police, or generally looks like a ****, those signs make people look like (imho) attention seeking

    i would go for a slightly more humorous approach
    ''if you're close enough to read this i can hit my brakes and sue you''
    i am still looking for one of these ^
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)

  • Why is this in the weekly email?

    They never send them out.

    And they're pointless.
