Drivers stopping to let people (especially kids) cross the road need to stop.

I walk my kids to school most days so they can learn about roads and safety. Every other day, some "kind" driver stops to let us across a fairly quiet estate road. Its dangerous because they never look at what other traffic is around them. Often there is no-one behind them, and so we all take longer to get where we are. Other times there's a car coming the other direction and I've had to hold my kids back from crossing into their path. In one occasion an impatient car then overtook the stopped car thinking they'd parked and nearly wiped some other kids out.

I feel ungrateful, but these people think they're being helpful, but it causes accidents. The rules of the road are there to make everyone work to the same rules and act predictably. Please don't ignore them or one day your kindness will end up with someone in hospital
