Default Caution Baby Onboard

Today an SUV overtook me in a 40kph school zone (I was doing spot on 40) It was the speed that drew my attention and as it passed I noticed a toddler obviously kneeling on the front passenger seat and the driver was on a mobile phone. The irony of it all was a "caution, baby onboard" sign displayed in the back window.

yeah i often see some shocking driving from folks sporting those signs.
i get kinda cut that a lot of 'hoonish' behaviour isn't done by who the media calls hoons (young people with nice rides), it's done by people in x5's or Kompressors

hear hear! minding my own business on the freeway sitting on 99 ( 100zone i was in middle lane, plenty of room around ) and then i have this x5 come flying up my rear, tails my bumper for a couple of seconds before pretty much swerving into the left hane and would of taken it up to 120 or more and kept up the lane dodging antics into the distance. lunacy.

Doesnt matter what they drive,its common to see children unrestrained in cars.
I have a insane neighbour that is due to have a baby this week and has had 3 speeding fines this year alone,and in the same spot.she always speed and talks on the phone.
She now has some sort of baby sign in the back window of her car.I think she should have it on her dash so she can see it herself because she is the only one risking her childs life.I wont even get into her still regular drug use.

You are correct, maybe the other driver was doing the correct speed. I don't have school kids so really don't have much idea when the school holidays are. Funny though I was in a line of at least five other cars all doing 40kph.

lmao

well I'm finding soccer moms to be pretty bad on the road in their 4WD's I swear I must be a major target for their hate of their children. Feel like yelling out "You had em not my fault. I didn't **** ya"

A couple of weeks ago I thought I had a target on my bright red car. Three times in daylight (not dawn or dusk) in five days I had little cars nearly try to take my bonnet off. Sorry didn't see your bright red tank in the other lane.

I'm wondering if small car drivers are ex-4WD drivers caused by the increase in fuel prices. They're becoming very friggin dangerous on the road. Lucky they're only a speed bump to me
