'Don't hit my car'

Why 'Baby on board'?

Why do those signs people put on their back windscreens have to say Baby on board?

Just because they let it be known to other drivers on the road that they might or might not have a baby in their car, what?

We're not supposed to hit them? We're supposed to be more careful? And if they don't have a baby, we go Fast and Furious on them?

Please! Whether or not I have a baby in my 12 year old blue Saga, with the upper left corner of my back windscreen dominated by a red P sticker (the misinformed always think it's on the right hand corner), doesn't change the fact you shouldn't ram me my car from behind.

Imagine we all have signs informing other drivers what's in our cars:

'Persian cat on board'

'Married couple on board. If you see this after 28/11/09: Baby on board'

'Single woman 21, loves long walks on beach, looking for adventurous man to complete life on board'

'Man who religiously horns if horny on board. Overtake with caution'

No matter the contents of the car, all of the above and more are equally deserving of not getting into an accident.

'Baby on board'. Pfft.
