Bumper magnet for male drivers (From Dudley News)

Bumper magnet for male drivers

TO the "oh so caring and considerate H Wood from Dudley" in response to your pathetic letter "I'm just not interested".

I'm sure I speak for hundreds of mothers and child carers who have read this irritating article.

Amazing as it may sound we do not want to brag, show off or advertise the fact that we have children, nor do we want to advertise Halfords, or any other retailer.

I think you have totally missed the whole point entirely!

As a mother of three and being eight months pregnant, I find these signs to be very useful indeed.

You see H Wood, I have conducted my own experiment regarding these signs, and having driven without them, all of a sudden my bumper suddenly becomes a magnet for male drivers who think the closer they get the more powerful they become.

Having carried children on board for a while I have come to realise that some individuals need telling to back off.

Isn't it strange how women drivers never intimidate or play kiss chase with other women drivers and I am pretty sure that if you and your precious cargo were to be struck by a male driver, you would be the first to complain and state I have children on board, what are you playing at?'.

So to be honest H Wood I am a lot happier advertising my fertility on the back of my car... I just hope that it will never be you who is driving up my backside!

Maybe you should be paying more attention to what is going on with other drivers than wasting time counting signs.
