Four in ten mums nearly crash on school run due to distractions

The stresses brought on by children squabbling in the back seat of the car, causes more than four in ten mums to have a crash or near miss on the school run.

A total of 64 per cent of mothers admitted their children distract them when they are driving.

Four out of ten mothers said their children screaming was a major distraction.

But two thirds of mums are stressed out about getting to work on time, worrying the school run will make them late.

The research from Kia, found that 59 per cent of mums would use a safer way to get their children to school if there was an alternative.
