disappointed rant..

Sadly, people think that their children are safer in them because visibility is better from higher up. Except they are not really safer, and they are far more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and to the environment. Don't even get me started on people who leave their 4x4s with the engine running in the nursery carpark. Whilst they are stood chatting in the entrance hall other people and their children have to walk through their exhaust fumes. <mutteringdarkly> It is exactly the same here, a perfectly good road with a lane in each direction has its capacity halved at drop-off/pick up times. And this is at a school with a purpose built underpass, so that parents can park away from the main road and walk under it. But no, they all park up on the main road then cross, with buggies and children, from between all the parked cars. Madness.

eta, sorry, I missed all the comments on page 5 too! Yes, it is funny how drivers suddenly come over all responsible when they think you might have spilled a child. And quite strange how they don't seem to believe you when you say no, there's no-one in there.
