NEARLY three in four mothers admit to making serious road safety blunders while driving their children around, a survey revealed.
One in four has been involved in an accident when a child has been with them, the poll from the Autoglass company found.
More than one in three mothers have forgotten to belt their youngsters up, nearly half have driven aggressively and 37 per cent have cut up other cars. As they race between activities, 69 per cent regularly break speed limits and more than half (54 per cent) jump traffic lights.
Also, 79 per cent regularly take their eyes off the road to deal with children. Based on findings from 500 mothers, the survey showed that mums make an average of 28 car journeys a week. Four in five mothers said driving with children in the car is a really stressful experience.
