geronimo Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I was driving behind a cute little Nissan the other day, and happened to notice this huge yellow octangular sticker on its back window that said "BABY IN CAR". I thought for a second ...... Baby in car ....... OK, so ........ Is this information intended to make me take more care than I already do? I take the utmost care not make contact with any other vehicle on the road as it is, and a sign telling me what's inside a car isn't going to make one iota of difference to my attention levels. Perhaps I am missing the point, and should entertain the toddler as I pass, with a clown nose and bright balls! Could always set a new trend "Boring old fart in car", or perhaps, "Really nice guy who is looking for a partner in life in car". The mind boggles, I see a new enterprise coming on........

Deepinthailand Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well it seems to me the sticker did it's job very well as it got your attention. Which is why your talking about it still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamukloy Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 , "Really nice guy who is looking for a partner in life in car". Why not try.. ATM on board or Falang to be fleeced on board I suspect will have that many prospective partners in life chasing you as to cause traffic jams.

starky Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wow let me be the first to welcome you to the new millennium. So youve just for the first time seen something that has been in circulation for over 30 years, congratulations. Maybe after you have seen a few more you may be able to discern the purpose for which they were created. Good luck. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) these have been around for many years now supposedly to make other drivers aware and possibly be a bit more careful but any good driver already does that without having to see these signs. What I find totally ludicrous is when you see the cars with these signs driving like idiots, maybe the sign should simply be in front of the driver on the dashboard where the one who is actually responsible for the baby can see it themselves and take due care.

Cheers His OP is a comment that has been around for years also, almost word for word. Clarkson made the same "observation" in one of his columns ages ago. It's not original and without a doubt he wasn't prompted to start the thread by a recent sighting. Edited September 29, 2016 by gdgbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Gary Larson, cartoonist of The Far Side, was commenting on this nearly thirty years ago.. The sign reads Maggot On Board.

manfredtillmann Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 i put a sign like that on the back window of our cars - some 25 years ago - to alert following drivers that i might have to be un - observant for moments to re - insert dummies, deal with vomit or, later, settle sibling disputes. i see the baby sign displayed on the car in front of me and i will add another 10m to my safety distance.

richard_smith237 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Ops suggestion to start a new trend "Boring old fart in car" seems right up his street !!... ---------- Of course, the answer to the question is two fold... - New parents think its cute, like the excitement and probably have received the sticker as a gift. - It does serve as some form of warning to others to take a little extra caution (OK, the Op doesn't but others might).

RT85 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) occasionally when i see a car moving really slowly or weirdly... i tend to give a little more patience if i see a disabled or baby in car sticker... so maybe that's what it's for? when i have a kid.. i will put it on.. just for kicks i guess? or make me seem more of a 'family' guy.... pity from coppers? or others? really not sure. come to think of it.. if a bunch of <deleted> were going around smashing or thinking of breaking stuff.. maybe they would think twice? honestly i doubt it makes a big difference.

Franklyspeaking Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 hahaha actually it's been a trend for several years. "Baby in car" might mean that the driver himself/herself might drive slower than others because there's a "baby in car". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The signs are a lot cheaper than child seats or other restraining devises for baby's and children which are not compulsory in Thailand and quite expensive to buy here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
