the AA has issued a safety warning to parents
As children across the county return to school, . The motoring organisation is calling for parents and carers to check their vehicles, especially if the car has been standing over the summer months.
Edmund King, AA president, said: “Many busy parents will welcome the news of schools reopening after a busy summer, but with that comes the return of the school run. We expect roads to be especially busy at drop-off and pick-up times, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and allow extra time."Edmund added that with the new term upon us, now would be a good time to consider alternative ways of dropping children at school.
Checks to make, according to the AA Sean Sidley, AA Patrol of the Year, said: “We stress the need to ensure cars are in a road-worthy state, particularly advising drivers to check tyre pressures, batteries and brakes well before venturing out onto the school run. It’s likely that the return of the morning ‘rush hour’ will see more breakdowns than of late as parents aim to beat the school bell.
