P for?

But 'Baby Onboard' diamonds for the back window are possibly the most useless.


In fact no. Just like a bull sillouhette sticker or cushions/soft toys in the back window. They alert other road users to the fact that the person is highly likely to drive like a fanny. So you hcan expect them to signal their intention to turn right by hitting the brakes and to dab the brakes whenever there is an oncoming car.

P=probationary. Pretty sure they have/had to display these in Ireland for a period after passing their test. Also speed restricted to something stupid like 45mph for that period, so you need to know. That may have changed now.

I thought that the baby on board was to highlight to emergency services because they can be overlooked in a particularly mashed car.

Yep, but with all the 'Princess on board' and all that crap now, it's ruined the idea of it. Also with grandparents and parents driving without kids in but with the baby on board notices... Apparently fire crews and paramedics cannot ignore one when they see one, potentially going into a dangerous situation when there is no need.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Which risks the lives wellbeing or emergency service personnel who search for babies who are at their gran's whilst mum is at work/shops.

They are nonsensical.

Their a clone of the hazardous chemical plaquard truck and vans display.
But these normally can be removed if no chemical is carried.
Baby on board...
Cnuts think telling everyone that they've procreated is worthy of continuous public announcement.
