Parents ignoring school run safety rules

MORE THAN a third of parents who drive their children to school think it is acceptable to stop or park on school safety zigzag lines, with a quarter admitting to doing so, according to research from AXA Car Insurance.

But Audi are working on fixing that, and fixing the biggest criticism of the Q7 in the process – its sheer weight and size.
