Much of my job as a coach driver entails school runs. I can cope with suicidal mothers driving down the centre of a country lane in her "people carrier" completely oblivious to the coach that is trying to avoid her by going into a hedge..........but it is hilarious to see their faces when (or if) they stop and realise that they have to REVERSE!! as there is not enough room for both vehicles.

This is what primarily gives people a bad impression of 4x4 or people carriers, that the drivers are incapable of any complicated maneuver like reversing or parking. I am sorry to say that young mums are most at fault as they take their offspring to school. Why do they opt for these vehicles when a metro or similar will do the job better and cheaper? (and safer)
