I’ve never understood why people think those signs are so you won’t hit them. They are for first responders to know to look for a kid in a wreck. But people don’t take them off when the kid isn’t in the car so they are mostly ignored.
I understand these as. "Expect unexpected shit from me at all times."
They might be extremly sleep deprived and are forced to drive somewhere regardless (baby sick or something) or might be wrestling with a toddler and a bottle of mistery Liquid he just found somewhere on the backseat. Might also get projectile vomited at right at the moment. Both not ideal driving conditions but sometimes you gotta do shit and be somewhere, even if you really should not drive there yourself.
I take these as a fair warning to be extra alert around these vehicles. Source: have a toddler myself.
I always assumed they were just another way for people to broadcast mundane factoids about themselves to total strangers that don't care. Like an early form of social media, if you will.
Yes. It was early social media.
I always kept a Garfield plushy in my car window, to let people know how I felt about Mondays.
We were pretty desperate back then.
People used to post their phone number in newspaper personals so they could talk to someone. Now they're probably live streaming on twitch
I once stumbled across a VHS recording a 1980s public access equivalent of a hot tub stream, it was about as surreal as one would expect.
I've always assumed it's because people with babies tend to pull away slower, take corners at lower speed and brake early and less heavy.
But I've also seen people drive like an absolute maniac with a baby in the car, so who knows?
You'd think the car seat might be a literal bigger indicator.
Not if you get to the scene from the back of the car, where the sticker is and from where you can't see the seat.
