Pretty much spot on. We have a car park just a little down the road that dosnt get used. Just arseholes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 As an SUV driving parent, you lot can all f**k off. Over the last few years Perth and Kinross Council have introduced restrictions for cars around schools at school run time. A great idea in theory, but in reality just pushes the traffic a street away from the schools. I live in a village, and there is no excuse for most that still insist on dropping the kids off in their cars every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the young childless dickheads in their hot hatches stuck to the speed limit, I might let my kid walk to school. But because he must cross 3 roads and a circle, he gets a lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commend you for not using your SUV for dropping your kids off at school. 7 minutes ago, johnnydun said: Here here brother!

It's a good effort from johnnydun here, I'm not quite sure it knocks "who knows what sort of paedophiles might be lurking around schools" off of top spot in the Shit Excuses for Driving Your Lazy Weans to School table, but it's a close second. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because he must cross 3 roads and a circle, he gets a lift.Surely learning to cross roads is a vital part of growing up.As soon as kids are old enough (7-8 years old, i reckon) - they should be walking.The other factor that affects roads during term times is parents choosing their kids schools, which started in the 90s and has been steady since. It's understandable, but it quite often fucks up the schools in the poorer areas, as kids who would help the place get ferried across the town to a 'better' school.This should be in the 'unpopular opinions' thread but i want the govt to make placing requests nigh on impossible. Get kids going to their local schools, and that would help close the attainment gap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, the youngest's head is usually in the clouds and one of the roads he must cross is a slip road coming off from the Kingsway (A90). I am just not prepared to risk it, and I can't walk him down because I head straight to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Never heard of neds in their hot hatches out racing at 8am, think the biggest danger there is parents that can't drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
