Coming from the east coast, I used to think people wanted you to drive carefully around their car with a baby in it, but I don't think that is it...
I think it is for areas where there are commuter lanes, so that people don't call the authorities for driving illegally in multi-person lanes when they have a baby that can't be seen in the car.

Seems like an awfully self-centered thing to announce with a sticker. How about just follow the rules of the road...you know...the laws. Drive safe.

you having a baby on board probably makes you a much more hazardous distracted driver, maybe you cut him off earlier at some point and he was pissed?

That guy may be a bit off with his question, but I have still seen plenty of parents with babies/kids in their car driving like complete idiots endangering their lives, their kids' lives, and other people's lives. So to assume that people with kids are obviously safer drivers than other drives and even teenagers is off as well.

Nah i'm not off. How many soccer moms do you see driving distracted and erratic because they are trying to control their brood?

"Well you're clearly not a parent"

Parenthood doesn't put anyone into a special privileged category where they can be a worse driver and endanger ME.

Sure as a parent you may be focused 90% of the time on driving safely WHEN you are paying attention. But that 10% of time that your kids distract you that you decelerate 20mph, randomly brake, stop short for no reason, drive like crap and weave into my lane, is a NET LOSS.

What else is there to pay for besides food, car, insurance, cell phone, college?
In high school parents should pay for other stuff, I pay for all of that myself

You're kidding right? Ask mommy and daddy, I'm sure they'll help you get a clue, one day you'll learn how expensive it is to survive in the real world without your parents help. It's not like I haven't been in your shoes, I was in highschool once, I paid for my own meals when I didn't eat at home, I bought my car, modified it, raced it, paid my insurance, wished something like a cell phone existed, hell I even bought my own gas and I was pissed when it went over a dollar a gallon. Have you ever been married with a family to support? You have a lot to learn grasshopper.

In a world of constant texting, loud music, headphones, nav systems, talking on the phone, idiotic street racing and showing off- you choose to identify PARENTS as the single most distracted subsection of drivers on the streets?

Good god man. Get the memo.

Sorry to hear about that. Maybe you can come to the GTG V meet and you might see him there. FOr the most part, we are all pretty chilled ppl.

There is always a few idiots in a crowd. For those that remember the Irvine meet a few years back in the target parking lot, a few cars decided to crash the meet and do some donuts.

Buying a G35 outright these days isn't saying much, especially when you have a free roof over your head. And "Those type of kids" are far more common then you think.

Actually, buying a G35 outright when you are in high school is still saying a lot these days. Not that you probably care but i'm a college student that went without a car through high school until i was 19 so i could afford a G35. I worked (and still do) for years as a custodian to pay for my car, insurance (i'll bet i pay more than you), college, and a roof over my head. I work my *** off wiping **** from toilets to drive a G35, don't throw us in the "parents-pocket" arena just because we are young and have good tastes. I drive my car responsibly because i've worked so hard for it and it means everything to me. So, play the grown up card and investigate before you instigate. I realize there are tons of douchey young drivers but don't through us all under the bus based on an incident that you really know nothing about.

My 2 cents... bring the hate...

No, I did not choose parents as the single most distracted subsection of drivers on the streets.

Do you even logic, bro?
