Re "driving kids to school" ..When I was in the UK a good mate in the police told me that when they do traffic stops near schools they find that around half of the "moms" driving have no licence, because of the "honey, can you take the kids to school", "Honey" rarely drives far, so either doesn't get a licence, or tries , but fails multiple times.But drives short distances anyway, because "what can happen" and "I need to drive the kids " etc.
Mates here in the gendarmerie say the same applies here in France, most drivers on the "school run" do not have driving licences, and drive and park like they are all alone on the road, putting the lives of everyone else in danger, including their own kids, other people's kids and other pedestrians and drivers.Especially in the way they double and triple park near the school so that their lil' darlings don't have to walk an extra metre.
When caught in a "licence control", their excuse is "but I don't drive far, only to the shops or to the school and anyway I have to drive, so I have no choice", to which they add loudly "the traffic ticket is totally unjust" as is any subsequent fine.
