Does a personalised number make you a nob?

LOL - quality.

 

[gannet]

very fitting

 

[sp3ctre]

No, but a "baby on board" sign in the rear windows does!

 

[Taz]

if the hat fits, wear it hehe

i've had a private plate for nearly 10 years, its good for disguising the car age, plus i like it lol, my kids have also got private plates, even the ex as one, god i'm must have been stupid back then hehe

 

[spokey]

Like that, you mean? :evil:

Personalised plates are fine as long as you don't start dicking about with the font/spacing to make it say something it doesn't

Those 'baby on board' 'little princess on board' stickers in the back of cars are for nobs What is the point?

 

[SirSimon]

I saw, "Bitch on board" today lol

 

[outrun]

The point is that if white van man sees it and stops being a nob and takes a little more care then it could just avoid an accident. Also useful when parking in the parent/child spaces even if you don't have the baby with you. (not that i'd do that of course)

+1 :lol: I hate those!

I don't give a s**t if there's a baby on board, it's not going to make me go any slower and do less than the speed limit, and if anything it makes me want to ram them off the road :lol:

 

[gannet]

we always substitute 'Baby on Board' for 'Smug b*******d on board' .... then overtake them

Along with the baby seat and strategically placed crumbs around said baby seat . Actually, that was in a film where the character posed as a single dad and pretended to have a kid in order to pull single mums, so fitted the above to his car. Think it was that tw@t Hugh Grant but can't remember the film name.

Along with others, can't stand personalised plates if they need modded to read something. Either buy a proper one or don't bother. Example of this is that David Yu in EVO magazine with his GO04 LLA plate with strategically placed black dots against the "0" on his Nissan GTR, : http://www.auto-journals.com/journals/Nissan?model=R35&journal=111>. Ruins a great-looking car IMO.

They originally were a product that helped the fire brigade search a car for bodies after an accident. Adults were easy to spot in the mangled mess but babies weren't so easy to see. If the sign was there, they would keep looking. Do people remove the sign when the baby is not there?

My interpretation of the sign now is "Back off or the baby gets it". A terrible use of a human shield!

Drive on.

I saw this guy who had private plates on both his cars parked side by side in his drive one was ' 2 BE ' and the other ' NOT 2B'

I thought that was quite cool.

The worst thing is that 90% of the people i see on the road with those drive really fast and some even going in and out of traffic!!!

One guy in Chiswick, about 20 years ago had a pair of 50's open top Cadillacs.

They were registered as PEN 15 and 5 LOB

Made me smile.

A friend saw 2 ferrari 360's parked outside a central london hotel, "NOT 1" and "BUT 2".

Somewhere central London IIRC.

Picking up on another thread not sure whats worse the fact he calls his car Godzilla or the strategically placed black dots, either what a NOB
