PSA: If you have a "baby on board" your vehicle...

On the other side, some of the "Baby on Board" cars drive more rashly than other cars. Too fast or too slow. Got to be in the middle.

PSA if you have any kind of bumper sticker or decoration on your car, you are an idiot.

If one looks at the rear of your vehicle where is the place you purchased it?

I always remove those stupid labels. Seems like most people don't.

1) No, it's not. In most states if you are driving below the speed limit and there are a certain number of cars behind you (in WA it's 5 or more), you are required by law to pull over and allow the other vehicles to pass. You can, and will, be issued a citation for "obstructing the flow of traffic" if you are driving below the speed limit with cars backing up behind you (even if they're following at a safe distance).

2) Yes, it is. Mostly on multiple lane roads though. Even if you're in the far right lane on a freeway, speed differential is a major cause of accidents. Even more of a cause than simply exceeding the speed limit. If everyone else on the highway is going the speed limit and you're going 10 mph under, you're creating a speed differential that is inherently less safe than if you were moving with the flow of traffic even if everyone is paying as much attention as possible.

He said it's legal, but you said no it's not. Then you said if you are driving under the speed limit you have to pull over and let people pass, but that's very different than being against the law. The fact that a law exists to make slower cars pull over to allow faster cars to go by means it isn't against the law. Otherwise, the law would say "if five cars are behind you, go faster."

Driving slow saves lives. You are much, much more likely to survive a car accident every time you drop your speed by 10mph. He didn't mean that everyone should drive 30mph under the speed limit. When the speed limit is 75, it's safe to drive anywhere from 60 to 80. I see it every time I drive my car and it's perfectly normal. If you are driving 45, that would be a problem.

Most of the people in this thread need to chill out big time. People are and should be concerned about their children. Get the hell over it.
