I've read the history of the sign, and that it's original intention was to let paramedics know if there might be a baby wedged underneath a seat of a burning car... or thrown out the window of a car that went off a cliff... or something along those lines. But I really think the original intent has been completely lost with the people using the signs these days. Whenever I'm on the road I see parents driving without ANY babies, and that square sign is hanging from the rear window... and sometimes I get a big kick out of a BIG MOTHER FUCKING Baby On Board sign that spans the entire width of the rear window.

I see cars parked on the street all the time with the sign hanging in the window. So it's apparent that parents don't really understand the purpose for it... and it's blatantly apparent they're using it for purely superficial purposes... to make it seem as if the lives of their offspring are above everyone else on the road.

Anyway, if anyone needs to be a safer driver... it's the dumb fucks that are driving half the speed limit and swerving all over the road, changing lanes without signaling and coming close to side-swiping other cars... basically driving like drunks and drug addicts. It seems like most are using the sign to compensate for their own inability to drive in a skilled fashion... I think a large percentage of these people need to have their licenses revoked.

I need to put up my GoPro and do a "Baby on Board: Irresponsible Mothers Edition" compilation.

Hell... simply getting in a car is a dangerous proposition. If these parents find driving to be such a risk that they feel the need to modify the behaviors of people around them, perhaps they just shouldn't bring their kids out on the road with them. Or perhaps they should just learn how to follow rules and common courtesies for themselves...
