They are not in general use here. Not in use at all really. I think this sign is just a bit of fun.

How nice of them to inform us that a ghost is not in charge of guiding that vehicle.

Wasn't the "baby on board" sign meant to advise rescue workers to look for it (the baby) in the case of a crash?

That’s funny they have this sticker on their vehicle. The baby on board I am told is so in the event of an emergency people trying to rescue someone from a car knows there is a child in the back who cannot get themselves out of the car seat and out of the car.

@Judyev Kids in France who I taught were once shocked to see me arriving in school with no-one at the wheel - it was a car I’d brought with me from Ireland so steering wheel was on wrong side.

How about "hooligan on board?" Everyone would get away from that vehicle quickly.

Well, as "driverless cars" now exist, may be he wanted to let people know that this is a "traditional" car with a human driving.

I want to keep seeing drivers on board. I always thought that the "baby on board" or whatever was a caution so that if there was an accident people would know to look for a baby.

That makes more sense. I hadn't thought of that except that lots of times there is no baby at the time. We have 'L' plates for learners who aren't supposed to drive without someone in the car with them but you see plenty of 'L' plates with only a driver.

Of course, it is important to have a driver onboard but that is only logical that there is one. I guess they wanted to be sure the cars behind them were paying attention to their car and did not bump into them,
