Does anyone know where I can get one? I keep checking Ebay (which is where I got the last one) and I can't seem to find them.

Thanks!
 
Hi there,
What do You think about this sticker:

I think the comedy photo of a horse sitting on the bonnet is inappropriate. It says horses die so why make it a cartoon?

I don't like the Kill your speed not my horse one. It has the smugness of a baby on board sticker (which I know was invetnted for emergency services but is displayed whether or not child is actually there). It would wind me up if I wasnt horsey.

Same as those awful arrogant recent BHS bus posters.

The cars dent, horses die one is the best of the lot, it depersonalises it into a thought for the reader to consider, rather than a message that comes across as 'don't do this with your car/do this with your car and protect precious little me' like the others.
 
I don't like any that have pictures in, because it confuses the message. I really don't like the EMW one, a cartoon horse sitting on a dented bonnet doesn't seem to convey the right message at all. Slow down for horses with an exclamation mark on the end makes it sound like a demand, I'd take the exclamation mark off. I think any time you want someone to do something, particularly with the attitudes some drivers have to riders on the road, it's worth being polite - Please slow down for horses. Or something like - Thank you for passing wide and slow. There's no point antagonising drivers.
Some time ago I was thinking of having We Don't Dent We Die put on a high viz jacket, I quite liked the directness of that. It's a statement, not a request or demand.

I don't like that either, I think it's poorly thought through.

Actually not keen on the 'Cars dent, Horses die' ones either. But I suppose it fits better on a sticker than, you know what, 'Horses die and the rider might die too, but then so might you...and your car might be completely written off as well, never mind dented', ;)

I didn't see the BHS bus posters, will Google them later if I remember.

Agree, it's not a demand, or a cartoon, and also gives food for thought as a lot of drivers won't have considered it in that way. Much much better.
