Which States will fine you for having a sticker without an actual baby? If anyone can give evidence of that I'll STFU and donate £20 to a charity of your choice.
I think it's a s Snopes says, a bid to other drivers to be courteous of other road users or it's "Hey look, I can pro-create!"

I don't know but when searching for details on this there was a thread on a forum with someone who 'got a ticket' for displaying the sign with no child on board. They also said they thought it was an urban myth, the police said it was ticketable in certain States and a few chimed in to say that they knew people who had also been ticketed.
The general concenous was that the police officers had also fallen for the myth, but a few were saying it was ticketable.
I don't know? I genuinely thought it was there for that reason, I don't like the look of them so never put them in there.
