preach

I never had one...never saw the need, if a dicks on the road, they're more likely to see them as a "challenge" than a deterrent.

a bit chavvy really

..I don't think that they were ever meant as a deterrent, although if that works as well that's all good but they were to let emergency services know that there was a baby or small child in the car should there be a road traffic accident..they were more meant to be hung in the car and removable/taken out when no baby was in the car but they're not really used as such anymore I don't think...

Not when your in the backseat of a Car and you crash you can't protect yourself.:joker:

Yeah, got it on series link now! It was good, nowhere near as annoying as I assumed it would have been.

They are there to inform emergency services that there is a child present during accidents....

Then presumably they should be removed when the child isn't in the car to save the emergency services needlessly hunting for a child that isn't there should there be a wreck.

Judging by the driving of some of the women heading for the primary school in my local village every morning, it's a little presumptuous to assume that having a child on board makes you a good driver and everyone else out to kill your kid.

..indeed, they were just meant to hang and be removable/not stickers..it's amazing that something with such an important purpose could be lost in translation the way it mostly is..and no campaigns so far as I'm aware to reinforce their purpose...tbh, it's something that I had never known but it was mentioned in a First Aid course I went on once...


..the other thing which is an interesting fact/type thing...(because it was mentioned earlier in the thread about all lives being of importance..)..which they are obviously...but in an 'either/or' life saving situation...lives do have a 'value' and children are often a higher priority to be saved....
