Children in the back seat are responsible for making one in four parents make mistakes whilst driving.<\/p>\n
Tesco Baby and Toddler Club’s Mums’ Choice Panel polled 755 parents. They found that 70 per cent of parents distracted by their children led them to miss turnings.<\/p>\n
More worryingly, 24 per cent of parents accidentally went over the speed limit and 6 per cent went through a red light.
\nIt appears that kids do benefit from their bad behaviour, with parents spending an average of \u00a3194 to keep children quiet on long car journeys.<\/p>\n
More than half of parents spent the cash on in-car DVD systems and hand-held game consoles.<\/p>\n
Other parents ease holiday car journeys by having their partner sitting in the back with the children and 11 per cent leaving before sunrise to miss the morning traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
