So if people are prepared to sit in their cars for twice as long ....

a guy at work tells of a neighbour who pulls out of her drive into the
queue for the school run (big 4x4 obviously) and queues the few hundred
yards to the school, then drives the long way home to avoid school
traffic. She cant let the little cherubs walk because of the traffic,
and she knows it would be quicker to walk with them but she's bought the
car so may as well use it ....
