or the kid is already dead
And somehow many people with those stickers drive like the biggest cunts. Like having a kid excuses failing to yield or slamming on the brakes then turning without a signal.
Would make sense since new parents lacking sleep struggle a bit
Yeah I suppose that makes sense.
Something something Burt Ward.
Those baby on board stickers were so helpful, you’d see one and think okay, I’ll be extra careful not to crash into that particular car.
In Korea, people put “초보운정” stickers on their cars. “Beginner Driver”. They’ve been doing it for decades, so you see some pretty old ones. How long does one remain a beginner exactly?
There’s also 차사순, who is literally famous for failing her written driver’s test 950 times before passing.
Only 50 fails until glory
She even failed at being incompetent I guess.
In Europe many countries have a mandatory sticker/magnet with a red “A” on white background to signal new drivers. You take it off after 2 years.
Good choice. The Scarlet Letter!
Legend. She needs a 차사순 sticker so people know to stay at least 4 car lengths away.
Like 10 years ago and suburban with one of thos was doing 35 in a 55 so I tried to pass him. Dude speeds up and proceeded to brake check me yelling out tge window that he has an effing kid in the car, like what? so i get beside him flip him off and go on my way. Dude followed me and called the cops on me like im at fault, long story short he got in trouble
That poor kid
I love that song so much.
I wish they put out a Bee Sharps album with the full songs, they never did that and I am so disappointed they didn’t.
I keep a “baby on board” sticker on my car so people will assume I’m an exhausted parent and be less likely to pull a gun on me in traffic if I do something to annoy them.
Just American things™
Same with the brand new bmws and Porsche cayennes with “new driver” stickers.
A 17 year old kid in a brand new Subaru WRX totalled my car by ramming it from behind at ~90mph. Buying a car like that for a child should be a crime, it’s like giving a kid a loaded gun.
I think of it more of a “give me extra space because I may be distracted and exhausted” warning sign.
I know a couple who have had eight kids in eleven years. Their youngest is two months old. There’s ALWAYS a baby on board. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s already pregnant again.
They don’t have anything advertising the baby on their car though.
I mean, if they lose a couple would they even notice at this point?
Home alone vibe here.
Those poor neglected kids :(
Due to target fixation, I bet they were already hit more often.
The point of those stickers isn’t to ask for kindness. It’s to let you know shit can happen on board and you may start driving like an idiot. Better stay a bit back so you have time to react.
And also that honking/screaming at the car is (even more of) a dick move now.
If I remember correctly, the actual point of the signs in car windows is to alert emergency services to a child being in the vehicle in case the vehicle is in an accident. I could be incorrect however, it was just an explanation I heard decades ago at this point.
No, you’re right. It is so emergency services prioritise cars with the sign.
That’s why you must remember to always leave a baby in the car. It’s the law.
