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.

Is this a joke? Why would you care if someone leaves their car running that's up to them

Report her for what? What did I miss?

This is becoming like "cancel the cheque".

Leaving your engine running while parked is illegal.

Yes, it's illegal.

However, your main concern obviously wasn't for the child in the back as they weren't even mentioned in your original post and have now appeared in the story.
You only mentioned the woman leaving the car running while taking her children to nursery.

It's illegal, environmentally harmful, dangerous and stupid.

Leaving a tonne of unattended machinery running in an area busy with distracted young children and mothers is an accident waiting to happen

Off course I can drive a car, what an utterly bizarre question. The PP was talking about a nursery banning siblings from being left in the car. What has that got to do with leaving a car running, or the fact that a car can roll on a slight incline?

The sibling would be in the car when it rolled forward.

To quote the great Irish philosopher Sister George Michael "You might want to think about wising up"...

Why don’t you take her keys, just for a laugh to spice up the morning school run.

If you're lucky someone will knick it.

Then this torturous atrocity will be at an end. And you'll be able to move on with your life.

A bit bruised psychologically. But ultimately stronger for the experience.

And maybe in the future you could write a book about it, sell the film rights and Angelina Jolie could play your role.

Strength and honour. 😜

I do but you’ve made me feel so guilty now I’ve just haded myself into the police and dropped my licence back off at the dvla on route. Thank you so so much for your words 🩷🩷🩷🩷

I think k it's only illegal to leave car running when parked on a public road. Was she on a public road?

Of course she was on a public road

I dont understand people logic with this old day story 🙄
Im sure the kids were fine and the people
like you need to get over the maybe's
Myob

was the car unlocked as well with a child in the car? that would make me so anxious, someone could steal the car and the child

Thank you; I’ll be sure to make a note of that.

It’s precisely the police have a lot to deal with that they won’t be springing into action at a report of car idling that had zero consequences.

Are you unhinged?

Apart from the air pollution we don't leave cars running whilst we aren't in them

So is smoking weed, technically.

Are you unhinged?

Right back atcha.

You are so so right. I’ve never in my life left my car idle, never left my kids in the car, no points on my licence and never been in an accident. I’m an absolute monster of a driver and should never ever be on a road again.

Are you one of these that walks your children across petrol forecourts? Holding everyone up and more dangerous than just popping in and paying?

If you joke in one post then you probably joke in others.

No who is doing that? If I have my kids in the car I go to a pay at pump like a normal person?
