“I think the Escort has turned out of Avenue Vivian and had to stop for the pedestrians. If I have got the location correct then these girls are going away from school not towards it.”

“Molineux I think she's a Brava well spotted!
The Escort driver should be on Police Camera Action with manouvres like that! What a lunatic!”

“In recent years North Lincolnshire schools have had attendance rates amongst the best in the country. This is because headteachers here adhere closely to government guidelines regarding absence (unlike in some authorities) and this policy is supported by the council's Education Welfare staff who offer support to families, but are not afraid to prosecute when necessary. Well done!
ps. Mr Potter, I think you're right about the Escort, Renault and Nissan, but tell me, is that a Fiat Brava in the background?”
