To be clear, it's not a sticker to say you can or cannot ram into said car. It's for when you notice an idiot driving 10 mph under the speed limit and before you tailgate them, you see understand the parents are struggling to hold it together and you give them some slack.
It’s so paramedics know to attend to the baby first if something happens.
this is an absolutely pervasive myth that people repeat because it sounds true without people actually checking if it’s true.
It’s not true. First responders look in the car regardless.
This is the correct one.
Fuck that. They get the horn like every other asshole parked in the passing lane. It's really not that hard to be a considerate driver.
It'll barely make a dent as they've literally been screamed at for the last 20 minutes. Might not even hear it depending on what kinda lungs the kids got.
Kids ain't that loud. They'll get the horn until they move.
Horns are for preventing accidents
And accidents are increased in increased traffic, passing on the right (or left if you are in a dumb country), large speed deltas from the prevalent flow, and road rage situations. Honking is working as intended and saving lives.
Move the fuck over if you aren't passing or it gets the horn again.
I think you just explained all things you would consider doing because the other driver won't. I'd say you are the dangerous one, not them...
