What do you think of reckless drivers that have a "Baby On Board" sign on their window?

What is the first thing to come to mind?

"A-hole".
I HATE "Baby on Board" signs. They just seem stupid. Am I supposed to take extra pains not to ram their vehicle? I don't care to hit any vehicle.

The first thing that comes to mind is "IDIOT" and when I can see the car seat, I get even more irritated that the person is jeopardizing the life of his/her child.  * angry *

They should be careful how they drive even if they don't have their baby in the car, because they would be made if someone did them wrong with their baby in the car.

I would probably think, "Wow, I haven't seen a 'Baby On Board' sign in a while...".

I'd think it might be like those people who have the "Beware of Dog" signs..but don't have a dog.
What about those window shade things for babies. What's up with that?

I think that's the best comment you've ever made on SC.

That they are idiots. That is the first thing that comes to mind. Although, I have imposed a certain degree of censorship expressing myself in a public forum. Substitute some riper word for "idiots" and you get the idea. After giving thought to an incident involving one of these idiots, I wonder why they expect everyone else to be careful around them on the road if they don't seem to care enough about their baby to drive safely in the first place.

I like the old brat on board signs better... with the baby's fingers caught in the rolled up window.

I would hope that the baby referred to the driver.

The first thing that comes to mind = Bob.

When she was preggie last year, my friend and her husband decided to keep the gender of their baby a surprise. She got tired of people asking if it was a boy or girl, and what it's potential names were, so she called her unborn baby Bob. [Baby On Board].
It was easier to refer to baby that way. "Bobs been really active today" "Bobs squishing my bladder!" etc

They stop the glare of the sun from hurting baby's eyes. Babies can't always get out of the path of the sunlight or turn their head away * smile *

I've always thought "Baby on Board" signs were dumb. I know how they came about and blah blah blah... dumb dumb dumb dumb dummmmmbbb. I'm sure plenty of drivers without babies in their car have the signs in their car window.

I don't think I've ever noticed a reckless driver with a "baby on board" sign.

I was surprised by my daughter's gender also.

I called her "the bun"... as in "the bun in my oven".

It's not that I expect you to take more care not to hit my car. I don't imagine a scenario in which you know you're going to crash and you have to make a last minute decision to either crash into a car that has a "Baby on Board" sticker or one that doesn't.

It's that I need cars behind me to realise why it is that I might be driving slowly and to therefore show me more patience than they ordinarily would do.

No one honks a hearse unless they're a complete bastard because everyone knows what they're for. You accept that there's a dead guy in the back on his way to be buried/cremated and however late you are, you appreciate that someone is having a craptier than you.

If you see a "Baby on board" sticker and the car is driving at 25mph, it could be that they're driving back from the hospital for the first time and the mum has a caesarean scar.

Reckless driving is just playing Russian roulette with your life, and that of any other child or adult in your vehicle. And doing it with a child in your vehicle is just unexcusable! Driving is a privilege, and that privilege can being taken away from you.
