Sign Language

Have you seen these “Baby on Board” signs in the back windows of cars? The signs are usually yellow. What’s the point of these signs? Do people drive different around cars bearing these signs? (“Slow down Herb. Can’t you see they have a baby in that vehicle?”) Are we supposed to turn our radios down around these vehicles in case the baby is sleeping? Do we honk less when we see these vehicles? My personal response is to take my eye off the road and look into the car to see if there’s really a baby in there. That’s never good.

Regardless, I can think of other signs of more importance which should be displayed in vehicles:

·         “Driver has been in multiple accidents”

·         “Driver texts”

·         “Driver smokes”

·         “Driver smokes while he texts”

·         “Driver tries to adjust his car clock while driving”
