Either that or they got more than one kid, so if you ram into them it should be fine as they have redundancy.

I live this meme.

Well I had a friend whose wife left him, took all the children and even left the country.... And he was still driving around with the baby on board sign in his back window for years . So it could be just some sad guy who has lost his family, trying to hold on to a memory. We all concluded later that the sign was referring to him

This is hilarious.

But in case you didn't know first responders are trained to look for these and adjust accordingly. That's why we have one up, nothing to do with cautious driving.

This is a myth.

It makes no different whether there is a sign or not. First responders are trained to look in the car regardless of signage.

"no stickers or signs on this one boys, fuck em"

what about truck nuts?

To add what the person below/above said me: its not a great idea either because baby on board can indicate to thieves that it might be a decent car to steel from due to you likely being occupied by the baby

Put a 2nd amendment sticker next to it? /s

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be clear, it's not a sticker to say you can or cannot ram into said car. It's for when you notice an idiot driving 10 mph under the speed limit and before you tailgate them, you see understand the parents are struggling to hold it together and you give them some slack.

It’s so paramedics know to attend to the baby first if something happens.

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

this is an absolutely pervasive myth that people repeat because it sounds true without people actually checking if it’s true.

It’s not true. First responders look in the car regardless.

This is the correct one.

Fuck that. They get the horn like every other asshole parked in the passing lane. It's really not that hard to be a considerate driver.

It'll barely make a dent as they've literally been screamed at for the last 20 minutes. Might not even hear it depending on what kinda lungs the kids got.
