    Why would I ram a car without a baby inside?

    I keep a “baby on board” sticker on my car so people will assume I’m an exhausted parent and be less likely to pull a gun on me in traffic if I do something to annoy them.

    And somehow many people with those stickers drive like the biggest cunts. Like having a kid excuses failing to yield or slamming on the brakes then turning without a signal.

    Those baby on board stickers were so helpful, you’d see one and think okay, I’ll be extra careful not to crash into that particular car.

      A 17 year old kid in a brand new Subaru WRX totalled my car by ramming it from behind at ~90mph. Buying a car like that for a child should be a crime, it’s like giving a kid a loaded gun.

    I think of it more of a “give me extra space because I may be distracted and exhausted” warning sign.
