Best thing I've been told, Kerch?

Is to put a compressed gas / oxidising gas sticker on, as in diving bottles?

This means that the vehicle can't be clamped?...

Kerch?...

maybe try an orange hazard plate. although the clampers probably wouldnt know what any of them mean anyway

I believe they are a notification to the emergency services to look for a little person in the event of a crash - down in a footwell etc.

Great point made hear. Some may be irritated by signs - but may be one day that little sign may save someone's life.

I am only wondering, if that was true would it not be common knowledge and so we would all have a sticker?

Dunno,

Give him a moment Sidey, he's just ordering his sticker!!

Sorry, just been plasterboarding utility room ceiling!.......living the dream?

Never heard of the sticker trick, i will ask some people!

...but I feel it may be a myth

Sorry, just been plasterboarding utility room ceiling!.......

euphemism? :innocent :slap

 

[kerching]

Sorry 8 do not earn as much as a Vet, so I can only afford a Utility room.

One day we will have a euphemism......until then we will stick with a utility room.

Lifting 6 x 3 plasterboards over my head when not feeling too chipper was a bit of a challenge though!.

I can get plastered tomorrow though

Not much use if the car has had a rear end shunt and stickers / signs fell off or not visiible.....

As has been pointed out...

any small children would typically be accompanied by a child seat....

Surely the child seat should give it away to the emergency services tho

far more easily visible....

More myth than reality I think...

Not withstanding that fact that grown adults can be catapulted a fair distance from a car in some crashes...

so little uns could go miles...........

And you probably see just as many in the back window of a single occupancy car when child is at home/babysitters/nursery/granny's etc...

I agree that the system is not perfect, I was more pointing out my understanding of why they had the signs. I took them a bit like a compressed gas sign - on the car if needed by emergency service etc, but not a sign for me!

Just to move it on in the same vein,   those other bumper stickers which you don't see so much now :-

 " My other car is a Porche"        

"Yes I drive an old car ...but I'm in front of you!!"

And of course the smarmy smug cringeworthy ........"  We've been to Alton Towers"     ( Leaving  the last bit unsaid ......... You hav'nt  ..Ner..Ner,,Na..Ner Ner )        

 

[Sharpend]

Crikey, they're old stickers, you been reading the back of your van again?

 

[Evans Electric]

     I did say you don't see them

Actually a good friend of mine, a Tiler, drives a Landrover.

On the back of his it says "the best floor by far"
