I'm with you on this one, and I've been there, when little she sat in the back and kept quiet, if played up she got a good telling of when we got to our destination.
If your child is going to distract you then pull over.

Safety on the road comes first.

It seems that dizzyblonde is saying and/or confirming that kids are a huge distraction and make driving dangerous.
more dangerous in fact than say; using a mobile phone.

perhaps they should be banned?
3points and a fine per child in car?
sound proof box in the back?
if they play up - make 'em walk!!!!!!

If driving with kids is so difficult - don't drive.
Driving whilst blind is difficult - so guess what? the blind don't do it!

ie if you know you're going to be a hazzard - why do it?

people have permission to drive not the right to - maybe that permission should be taken away more often.

for the record: no I don't have kids

I'm slightly different when driving the car. if the kdis are acting up I'll tell them to pipe down.

If they don't listen, I find somewhere safe, and pull over. Engine off & I go for a walk. I'll come back when they've worked it out of their system.

I'll re-enter this discussion to put this light upon my view....

Exactly..not only that but constant chatting about walloping car drivers, shouting abuse and generally being a neanderthal **** paints a picture of the bike community as a whole in a very bad light......I will freely admit I will give any user of the road a hand signal consisting of the knobhead, w44nker,variety, if they are in the wrong. I have had so many near misses over the years I am quite paranoid these days...not only for deers, but BMW trying to collide in my lane, head on at warp speed, women with 'distracting' kids rear ending...alsorts, but I don't condone a violent solution...one day you'll get bit.

I don't drive, but my son is a good lad in the back of a car, he has learnt to be good, all parents should be the same, to teach them to behave. But kids are no more distracting than a mobile, a passenger next to you, your radio, your mates in the back etc etc.

What I haven't noticed in this discussion is any of you admitting when you have a lapse in concentration and cause another road user offense, just like someone I know on the motorway recently heading a group of bikes, they had a lapse of concentration and started veering into the car to the right of them...I didn't see said car driver ramming them off the road with a rage of violence.
Nor when you happen to not see that car coming towards you and you come out of a junction to near for comfort.....oooops.
At the end of the day there are too many cars and vehicles on the road these days, common courtesy and manners goes a long way........a lot better than aggression. And before you lot jump on the bandwaggon and slate me, I'm perfectly aware this post is written naively, but, I have values....something that is getting diluted more and more these days

as a mum of 3 I am well used to my kids playing up... but thats what I have a stereo for. I used to have rangerover( and yes it went offroad too) but mostly used to tow track cars....

I think that there are bad drivers out there in all forms, some I think shouldnt be allowed in a mini let alone a 4x4. I once wrote off some guys car in my rangerover but he was trying to FORCE me over and there was a bus to my left hand side so I let him drive into my rear wheel.. He killed my alloy..

But seriously if your kids are going to make you not notice the road then you should pull over and chill a bit and calm them down. I have only ONCE nearly had a scooter rider off and thats because he came up my offside as I was turning left and indicating.. He got some right verbal off me...and my kids repeated it for weeks..

Bit of an odd comparison I am learning to swim and I go to a pool to do so, otherwise how will I learn properly without the practice needed? How will people learn to improve their driving skills without being out on real roads, there's only so much one can learn on a private car park....Not that I am condoning the woman's driving of the 4x4 at all, she sounds dangerous

Unfortunately I think that would have to happen before he stopped telling 'em what for, and he wouldn't go down willingly either



IMHO kids should be seen and not heard in the back of the car, strapped in with a book or something to keep them occupied, they need to have it drilled into them from a very early age that the car is one place you do not mess about in
