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....
