Okay picture this; car is in flames and you are running toward the car. You can see a person slumped over in the front seat and you also see the baby on board sign.
If I'm approaching the car from the rear, my view of the occupants will be obscured by 'Baby on Board' and 'MASH 4077' stickers, the only logical progression would be is to assume there is someone behind the wheel and there is a chance I can save this persons life.
Quote:9/10 parents would beg you to save their child before them. This gives you the split second access to go straight to the back and start unbuckling the child.
How many people know how to release a car seat belt? Just about everybody, it's one a one click operation. How many people know how to unbuckle a child's safety harness? Not everybody. If I'm the first responder I care little for the hopes and desires of the guy behind the wheel. Save who you can is the first priority, all else is secondary. My first thought and absolute dread when I'm approaching the car door handle would be; I hope to fuck central locking is disabled in the event of a crash. And if it isn’t? Now-I-am-fucked.
Quote:Tinted windows (which are huge here because the sun in brutal and little ones can't move their head out of the sunlight) might make it difficult to see into the back until you are already opening doors.
Smart folk would put the child seat in the centre, away from the brutal sun, that way you can see the kid in the rear view mirror and you won't have to look over your shoulder to see what the gurgling noises are.
Quote:Seriously the only one being a cunt here is you because you judge people for trying to make sure their baby's safety is put before their own. If you don't like it don't have one and don't save any babies with the sign on the window.
The best spin I can put on this is; you've done something and you really don't know why you did it, and now you are trying to justify doing it. What are you telling the world with the Mash sticker?
Regarding "little ones", wouldn’t this be a more intelligent sticker to clag in the back winda???
Fire extinguisher on board!
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
