The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) has issued a warning to drivers to be aware of distracted youngsters making their way home from school during the autumn term.
A leading road safety charity, the IAM highlights the significant increase in the risk of an accident as the school run brings with it a 20 per cent increase in the volume of rush hour traffic, in addition to the possibility of under 16’s being distracted by playing with their friends, listening to music, or interacting on social media on their mobile devices.
