'Someone will kill a child': School run parking fears

Schools round here shut the car park/playground gates at 3pm.

Personally I,d leave them open with stingers across the entrance.

Exactly this. I used to walk at least 5 miles every day to school usually with a bunch of mates. It's just plain lazyness by the parents

10 mile round trip every day? You must have got through a lot of shoes.

He didn’t own shoes

Just cardboard boxes on his feet, his dripping butties in a dotted hanky and a jaunty aire as he hobbled along.

Not at all.
He nearly took out the 2 schoolboys on their bikes also.
I'd have given the clown 5 yrs!

At least !

To play devils advocate plenty of parents drop their kids off on their way to work and unlike when I was a kid both parents have to work ( often there aren't two parents ) to keep family heads above water. However one reason they often cite as they do it is because of road safety - its not safe what with all that traffic around the school twice a day....... could be the answer is in their own hands and their kids feet.

10 months for dangerous driving, causing actual bodily harm and having no insurance or MOT is a fucking joke.

Behave. He's got off very lightly.
