I can just about see the benefit of the baby on board signs to explain slow (erratic more likely) driving but this stick figure family is just the height of utter itiude.

Is there a point except 'showing off' that you've managed to breed?
You don't have kids, do you?

I had never seen these before this thread, and I strangely don't feel in the slightest annoyed by them. I'm sure I will when they are on every car I see as the 'trend' floods us down here.

I blame Steve Thompson cars, the Vauxhall dealer, and his Irmscher conversions

I hate stickers. Loathe them. Whatever, stick people, baby on board, football club, fcensoreding show dogs on fcensoreding board, doesn't matter. A discreet PH smilie, or a 'ring sticker (if you've ACTUALLY BEEN) is just about OK, on the bodywork, but NOTHING, not even a dealership sticker, is allowed on the glass. Exceptions will be considered, on merit, on a case-by-case basis for vehicles competing in motorsport events wink
Bit of a strong reaction?



Never worked for the BBC or Halfords in case you were wondering. smile
No I didn't! Lol

The worst ones are in the states (where i first saw all these stick family stickers).

They have stupid things like "my child is a star pupil at XYZ school", or "XYZ school honour student aboard" and even "proud mom of an autistic child".

Who the hell would want either of those on their car???

I'm still trying to figure out what a "honour student" is?

Is it someone who (a) behaves honourably
(b) has never had sex
or (c) is taking an honours degree rather than a pass degree

I think its something at High school about them being basically a good child and top of the class???? Certainly not a university thing....I think.

Many folks, older mostly, seem to have 'My granddaughter is an honour student' type stickers on their cars. Other people have 'My Yorkshire terrier is smarter than your honour student' type stickers. Odd.
Never seen a 'granddaughter' or equivalent, but I think schools give them out (the stickers) over here if one's spawn gets a good school report.

I have them on my car. I stuck them on because they amused me. They amuse me all the more now I know they irritate me. I stuck a Nurburgring and Apple stick on my wife's Prius for the exact same reason (car hasn't driven around there, but I have).

I think these kind of clues on cars are useful, along with "Powered by Fairydust", "Princess on Board", "Mini Football Strips", "CAUTION - SOFT COATED WHEATEN TERRIER IN TRANSIT" (Obviously we give it extra care as it is soft coated, not one of those Rough Coated s which we all want to slam into) or the fish thing, it all points to someone who is not remotely interested in cars or driving, usually they adorn cars we wouldnt be seen dead in, those jacked up versions of small hatchbacks, Zafira's and Almera Tino's.

So, dont knock it, for spong identification, there is little better.

Damn, I was cheerfully oblivious to this cultural phenomenon (people have all sorts of stickers in their back windows, after all), but now I'm going to notice it and get annoyed and hate the person in front. Thanks a lot.
