Sorry, no can do. My car has a bendy plastic rear window...

I've often thought that if I'm out driving me motor and a cyclist getting
hit by another car I could offer myself as a "dispassionate" witness. With
one of these stickers I'm revealing my allegiance, thereby diminishing the
value of my evidence.

I've thought about it a bit more and blow it! I reckon it's such a super
idea I'm ganna pass this link around our club and see if we can't put in an
order for a couple of dozen.

Fine idea , good lnik, thank you Martin.

(for which I've just had the first entry!)

I don't own a car but would like a 'Dickhead At The Wheel' sticker to slap
on the rear window of the next idiot I see talking on a mobile while
driving a car with a 'Baby On Board' sticker in the rear window.

Does this stuff happen in the rest of the country or do all the morons
gravitate to London?

I believe that the majority of vehicles with "Child on board stickers"
are correct: it's just that in over 80% of cases, it's at the wheel
....

It's not just London, there are patches all over the places. I have my
own personal measure, the ACK quotient (arsehole count per kilometer).

It runs at around 3 in London, drops off outside the M25, another
sharp rise to about 2.5 in Reading. It doesn't really drop to well
under 1 until you're north of Lancaster, but I haven't completed my
survey yet.

'Baby on board' translates as 'stressed, sleep deprived and distracted
driver - keep clear'

Indeed it does. The original idea behind the 'baby on board' sticker was a
good one. In the case of car crash, it meant the fire crews knew to look for
a child trapped in the wreckage. A *small* child which could otherwise
easily be obscured from view and the sticker was supposed to be placed in
the window immediately adjacent where the baby would be 'seated'. But of
course... the stickers aren't removed when the baby is not on board, thus
detracting from their usefulness.

Didn't realise that, but the way they're "used" now is a real pet
peeve. It's all right for people to drive into the back of /me/,
but not you with your yellow sign. Grrrrr.

However, if I was towing a moppet trailer behind the bike I'd think
about popping one on the back, as it may well concentrate the minds
of passing motorists to leave a little more space. Which makes me
a sad case of double standards to some degree, but so be it...

Au contrai The* original* use was in winnebagos (sp?), some US
examples of which are easily as big as a 1 bed flat, with more nooks
and crannies, in which to lose a miniature soap-dodger in the event of
a crash.
