Can I ask whether having a 'Baby on Board' sticker in the back window of your car permits you to drive like an utter tool and endanger the lives of other people?

TBF, anyone who sticks a 'Baby on Board' sticker in their car is a bit of a tool, irrespective of driving ability.

Was it all chili then?

It had a bit of a kick. As tasty as their food is, they've never got the chilli ratio right before.

For reference- I pointed to the 'don't come to me crying' option (or whatever amusing thing it says) on the menu.

I had that too last time, still needed about half a bottle of hot sauce to even feel a tingling.

See, I'd thought I'd had that option and not felt anything before as well. Maybe they've upped their game or got someone new in the kitchen? Anyway, it was great today.

Why? Driving with kids in the back is often hard work. I would stick that on my car as I'd be nervous and it might give people a little more patience/caution with you.

3 of them in the last week in Brixton.

apparently they were invented for a good reason- if you had an accident, it told the rescue crews they were looking for a very small victim (not always obvious, particularly in a bad crash)

Kids might be a distraction, babies are not renowned for being all that unruly. Yet one does rarely sees "Delinquent 7 year old on board" signs.
 
'i was just going to ram my car into the back of yours for shits & giggles, but now that i see you have a child on board, i shall refrain from doing so'
 
Help! My car's spinning hopeless out of control! Oh, but hold on - I see that sticker so I shall magically make it slide out of control elsewhere.
 
those stickers are how breeders go about passive aggressively letting us know that everyone on earth should care about THEIR child.

I thought it was phrase that took into account all children. Babies can be very distracting if they're screaming their heads off. Toddlers, and adolescents, can spend large amounts of the journey fighting, which can be very distracting. I think your argument is just with the semantics. I hate and would never wear a baby on board badge not because I don't think people should give up seats to pregnant women, but I resent wearing something that made me sound like some sort of heavy load vehicle.

Some, many in fact, people are aggressive drivers. Some of them might be more cautious and less cunty if they saw those signs. I'm forever seeing people yelling at others on the road, maybe someone would be a bit more patient in that case. Of course some people are just cunts, the people objecting to someone wanting to put that on their car are sure sounding pretty cunty.
 
Never really understood why people take issue with them.

However I'm thinking about selling ones saying 'future world leader on board'. I reckon it would be a money spinner amongst a certain demographic, until the RTA stats came out.
 
If having a baby/child in the back is distracting to the extent that others need to watch out for your distracted driving, is raises the question of whether one should be driving with such a cargo in the first place.

Maybe we should have "driver's had a couple of pints" or "driver on mobile phone" stickers too.

We could always ban women from driving, like in Saudi Arabia.
