Fuck you
People with kids need a drink a fuck sight more than those that don't.

True, but they also need to find a fucking babysitter when they do it.

I don't know about you, but I always drive like I'm in a Demolition Derby unless I see one of these.
Of course I don't, but that's the "logic" of displaying one.

Really I think it's just fertility boasting.

On a related note, this morning I overtook a Peugeot 106 whose back window was plastered in pro-hunting, Countryside Alliance type stickers. to the point where I wondered if the drive could see anything coming behind her (yes, it was a woman, of the braying horsey ruddy-cheeked country Tory persuasion by the look of her).

Isn't there some law about not doing this?

I think blocking up the back window is ok
as otherwise vans would be fucked. I think you need the drivers wing mirror and one other mirror (i.e. either rear view mirror or passenger wing) to be legal, but I couldn't offer any proof.

Shit
I'll have to uninstall the Gatling guns behind my headlamps now.

The Simpsons got this one right:
"I've got a baby on board sticker for the car, maybe now people will stop intentionally ramming us".

Too right!
I was thinking of getting one made up that said "Field mice in transit" or "I've had a kid, so you'd better drive better because I'm a useless fucktard".

The worse ones are "Little princess on board" - fuck off. Just fuck off.

"I've had a kid, so I thought I'd obscure the view through my rear window just that little extra bit"

With you on this one.
Especially the little princess thing.

When I get my van for work (an IT repair/support company)
I'm going to have a sticker on the back saying 'no mice are left in this van overnight'

Originally it came from Canada*
and was sign for the emergency services for when the car gets totalled - it's handy when looking for survivors and/or matching up body parts.

*Aparantly some baby survived a crash but later died of hypothermia under a bush or something.

I can see that would be useful if people bothered took the sign down when the child wasn't in the car. Would people expect the fire service to keep checking under bushes until the non existent baby was found?

I saw someone
a few weeks ago with a homemade sign on their car..'Childless person on board, please feel free to drive into the back of me'. They drove like a twat so I was quite tempted.
