Here’s how to survive the back-to-school road rush
Road safety charity has some top tips for motorists as the new school year looms
The initial back-to-school period is always stressful, not least because of the term-time rush on the roads.
To help parent motorists make their school run a bit easier as the new academic year starts, road safety charity IAM RoadSmart has compiled a list of top driving tips.
Richard Gladman, head of driving and riding standards at IAM Roadsmart, said: “Traffic always picks up again after the school holidays, so your journey will take longer and potentially be more stressful.
“Make sure the car is fuelled up and fit and ready for stop-start traffic so you have one less thing to worry about.
“Be vigilant around schools, as there’s likely to be children getting out of cars or walking to school.”
