I don't, but my husband says that every man and possibly every woman in the UK will.
The Department of Transport launched a new road safety campaign this week.
I started to get worried when I read through the facts ... almost 2,000 children in the UK are seriously injured or killed by road accidents each year ...
Then I read some of the tips for walking with children under six ... DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD RUN TO SCHOOL.
Guilty.
To say mornings are a bit of an event at our house is an understatement.
Today, thanks to Children in Need Wear Home Clothes if You Bring a Pound Day we ended up with the entire contents of the children's wardrobe in the middle of the floor because Emily was in search of a neon pink and orange butterfly shirt. Then she had to find the matching pink trousers. I don't blame her, if I had to wear grey and blue every day, I'd go for the bright colours too.
No matter how much we prepare, we always leave the house about five minutes before the whistle blows. Then the girls fly down the road with me trailing behind with the push chair loaded with book bags, packed lunches and extra toys.
I always tell them to watch out for cars that could be pulling out of their driveways -- but they never do and I don't think they understand what can happen when a car hits you.
Here's an advert from the campaign. I showed it to my daughters and now they UNDERSTAND why we now WALK to school.
What do you think about the new adverts?
