One of nursery staff left their car running

[EnglishBrits]

Whilst she went into side to drop of her children. It was off nursery premises and she works part time and children attend the nursery as well.

Aibu to report it? She does it daily.

I had no idea you weren’t allowed to leave a car engine running. I’ve been driving for 30 years. I do it every winter to defrost my windscreen as the fans are awful and take an age. Better watch I’m not your neighbour 😬

You really should know these things.

Car exhaust pollution is recognised as a killer.

That aside, why do you do it? You must know that it makes the air around your car toxic and if you were sitting outside a school then it’s children who are inhaling those poisons. Don’t you care?

Pour slightly warm water over the ice instead, keep your ignition and wipers on. Job done.

Or, get a windscreen cover for overnights.

Well I’ve survived this long and will still defrost my car. Re fumes, perhaps it was an electric car?

It’s the inside that’s the bigger issue. Fans are crap, wiping just smears

If she left a young child in the car whilst it was running and unattended then I think that’s quite serious. But if she just leaves the engine running withiut a child inside, I can’t believe that anyone would give a toss.

If your car gets nicked then don't complain about it.

Are you seriously saying you’ve never considered that pumping toxic fumes into the environment unnecessarily wasn’t good?
As for defrosting windscreens, what’s wrong with a bit of hot water?

Hot water bottles on the dashboard for ten minutes work a treat ime.

No. Why would you think that?

What I was doing was answering somebody else's question asking what the driver could be reported for.

I've answered that question.

I haven't said or suggested anybody should be reported for anything.

My car is electric! It’s impossible to sit in it without the ignition coming on! There is no engine!

My car is electric!

My car is electric!

Any reason she needs to treated like she belongs in the nursery herself, and allowed to do illegal things while we all treat her a precious child who needs teaching?

Yes those annoying cyclists polluting the air

To make it move the engine needs to come on
....it doesn't run on wind

They don’t have engines he’s, they have motors.

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ It has a MOTOR! It doesn’t produce any emissions! EVs are ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES!

Good grief. Critical thinking, PLEEEEEEASE

EVs sort of do run on wind

(or solar / other renewables etc)

Off the point, but really? Electric cars switch on their engines just because someone sits in them? That sounds, um, odd.

How do you think electricity is made? With gas.

what a weird presumption, the two things are not connected. I
often sit with my car running (because cancer treatment means my ability to regulate my body temperature is fucked) but I don’t drop litter.

Electric cars don’t have engines they have motors!

Yes, the ignition switches on when you sit in them and then you go, there is no starting of any engine. The motor doesn’t need ‘starting’
Think of a remote control car

My electricity that I use, is made purely from wind turbines!
