On the drive to work this morning I was struck by the utter futility of those ‘Baby On Board’ notices people hang in the rear windows of their cars. Accidents are typically things you don’t intend to happen so a ‘Baby On Board’ notice is not going to act like shields on the USS Enterprise, protecting you from the jack knifing lorry deflecting it into some other unfortunate. An extreme example maybe but you take my point. If the fates decide that some someone is going to drive into you a ‘Baby On Board’ notice is up there with chocolate fire guards and SUVs. Come to think of it even more pointless is a SUV with a ‘Baby On Board’ notice.
