Ultimately, regardless of who's getting in or off, or who's riding within, folks should be cautious while driving. That's why I think the notices are just kind of silly. That isn't to say, however, that I don't see your point. I do. :) Renee: That makes some sense, but still - if a van stops in front of you, and folks are getting off of it, should people not stop and be cautious, if young adults are unloading, as opposed to kids or old people?

That isn’t to say, however, that I don’t see your point. I do. :)

If you're not someone's child, well... hmm! Cheryl: I guess I can see that, but I still think generally, you should be cautious, regardless of who’s in the vehicle ahead of you. :)

As you say, you should drive safe no matter who's inside the other car.
