stewartingram Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I have read that the baby on board signs started as something to make emergency services aware in case of an accident...don't know how true it is though. And the emergency services hated them. They never actually knew if a baby was on board and could waste time searching. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart The misuse of the sign is the problem as it should only be used if there is actually a baby being transported rather like a removable Hazchem Panel!

Mark Saunders I quite like the thought of a baby being considered in the same manner as a hazardous load. It's clear that there are different schools of thought as to what they are for...but I wonder what proportion of people just put one up because it's what people do without even thinking about the purpose?

eastwestdivide Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 From the "wilful misunderstanding of foreign language signs" department, are you brave enough to continue, or are you going to chicken out?

RMweb Premium Coryton Posted July 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2017 To be fair I think the sign is also referring to the sign in the background - and possibly others too... Perhaps it is, but if signs in the cycle way need advance warning, a sign in the cycle way definitely isn't the way to do it. Unless there's one before that that we can't see....and one before that....and one before that one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't cause me to modify my driving in any way, and I certainly don't think they would have any effect on the wilder elements using our roads. Just a passport to the designated parking area nearest the supermarket entrance, I suppose. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Usually without the accompanying brat child Just why are parent and child spaces nearer to the entrance than disabled spots? And the poor disabled driver trying to find a spot when the yummy mummies have "overspilled" into disabled spots and is castigated by a mother with "All the spots are full where else should I park" Try ordinary parking spots you lazy b*stards.

RMweb Premium martin_wynne Posted July 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2017 castigated by a mother with "All the spots are full where else should I park" The white lines on a supermarket car park have no legal standing. If you need more space simply straddle two spaces. If it's for children, park as far from the entrance as possible to remind them that they have legs. Usually there will be plenty of spaces there. And make them push the trolley back. Martin. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
