This is hilarious.

But in case you didn't know first responders are trained to look for these and adjust accordingly. That's why we have one up, nothing to do with cautious driving.

To add what the person below/above said me: its not a great idea either because baby on board can indicate to thieves that it might be a decent car to steel from due to you likely being occupied by the baby

This is a myth.

It makes no different whether there is a sign or not. First responders are trained to look in the car regardless of signage.

"no stickers or signs on this one boys, fuck em"

Either that or they got more than one kid, so if you ram into them it should be fine as they have redundancy.

To be clear, it's not a sticker to say you can or cannot ram into said car. It's for when you notice an idiot driving 10 mph under the speed limit and before you tailgate them, you see understand the parents are struggling to hold it together and you give them some slack.

It’s so paramedics know to attend to the baby first if something happens.

this is an absolutely pervasive myth that people repeat because it sounds true without people actually checking if it’s true.

It’s not true. First responders look in the car regardless.

Fuck that. They get the horn like every other asshole parked in the passing lane. It's really not that hard to be a considerate driver.

It'll barely make a dent as they've literally been screamed at for the last 20 minutes. Might not even hear it depending on what kinda lungs the kids got.

Kids ain't that loud. They'll get the horn until they move.

Horns are for preventing accidents

And accidents are increased in increased traffic, passing on the right (or left if you are in a dumb country), large speed deltas from the prevalent flow, and road rage situations. Honking is working as intended and saving lives.

Move the fuck over if you aren't passing or it gets the horn again.
