    eh, agree with the first sentence......but not with the last paragraph, as earlier reasons by others and me. All of that tells the mother with the "baby onboard" sticker that she doesn't have to pay attention, so she can text on her phone while speeding in the fast lane with that kid in the car seat

    Ironic concerning the last few posts. unfortunately, we are too far down this disposable rabbit hole to change it. Drove home from essex Md. last night to harrisburg, pa. and counted a minimum of 10 cars, one 18 wheeler with no lights on. I can tell you as fact that "no lights" driving was rare...
