On the way to school, walking down Underhill Road, I saw a woman driving her car with a toddler on her lap. I didn't get to memorise the numberplate or make if car. I am shocked that someone would drive like that. The kid looked like he was having great fun 'driving' the car. I really hope the driver was stopped.
Shocking, though not uncommon I fear. Someone who lives very close to me regularly takes off at speed with 3 children in the car, none of whom are in child restraints (ages are approx. 8, 5 and 2). I've seen the youngest "helping" drive the car a few times... not sure how far they go, but it's irrelevant!
It is shocking in this day and age. Makes me wonder how I ever survived childhood. My dad did that with us all the time - sitting on his lap letting us drive. Not sure society has got it right yet though... Anybody else over the big 5 0 who remembers when being a kid was fun - without electronic aids. i grew up without TV, computers (Africa) - and just about everything we got up to would probably be illegal now (in a 'Elf n Safty way). But it was fun.

    • Some P13 drivers appear very risk averse. I live in Underhill and on that road drivers are forced to back away, often considerable distances, from buses to allow them to pass, even when the bus has an immediate space it could back into. The driver at the time said that buses 'weren't allowed to back'. So reports of cars 'blocking' P13s might mean simply that the car was legally parked but the road too narrow,or the bus driver not prepared to risk advancing. NB some P13 drivers are both skilled and courteous, but not all. 
    • I’ve experienced the same in Herne Hill. It’s definitely linked to where there are already marked bays, it prevents you from parking within approx 200-400 metres around the bay. Dulwich Village has quite a few bays, which probably explains why you’ve noticed it there and not elsewhere. 
    • They are quick enough to issue tickets why can they not tow it away. How many people waited at bus stops for no bus.
