More than one in five parent drivers (21%) admit they have exceeded the speed limit outside their child's school – and a quarter don't even know what the speed limit is.
Over half of parents (six in ten) have wound up in an argument with other parents over driving mishaps outside schools, according to a poll of 2,000 motorists, with children aged five to 16.
The top gripes for parent drivers include parents or children walking in the road or crossing without looking, and people leaving their engines on while waiting for children.
Blocking pathways or driveways are also among the top 10 annoyances – but more than one in five (22%) admit they have blocked a driveway in an effort to get closer to the school gate.
And almost a third (30%) of parent motorists admitted to parking outside the school gates.
