Social rules for dropping children off at the school gate

Key Points To Remember:

Don’t just stop at the school gate. No! Many schools have entrances that are possible to drive right through. If you are really lucky, you may even be able to park right outside your child’s classroom.

If you find you really must park outside the school, look for the zig-zags. These are put here to make sure there is always a parking space available to you at 8.55am.

Just what are those pedestrians doing on the pavement? But remember to beep your horn before mounting the pavement. Think about the reams of paperwork you will have to fill out should you knock one of those child things down.

No car is too big. In fact, do check your local car show room to see if there are any special offers on tanks this month. If you have no luck, check out this website. There will certainly be something on there for you: www.tanksforsale.co.uk

If you find yourself unable to park in the aforementioned areas, then don’t forget you can still double park. That’s just a little bit like musical cars first thing.

Hold on a minute! There are all those local residents’ drives to fill up. Panic over.

And finally, to make sure you got the school run just right, do Google I Parked Like A … It’s a safe bet that you feature on a website somewhere.
