One of the afternoon entertainments in a local pub is watching the queues
of
cars taking children home from school. Many of the kids live within a
ten-minute walk of the school. You see cars exiting a side junction onto a
dangerous bend with the occasional driver having one hand on the wheel and
the other holding a mobile to their ear - all in the need to keep the
children safe!

I live directly opposite a primary school and if I happen to be
off work and at home the normally quiet and peaceful road is
transformed at 3.30pm into a narrow road clogged with 4x4s
and people carriers.
Why can't these kids walk?
