My two grandchildren have to go to school every morning on a red minivan, because their parents both work and don’t have the time to take them themselves.

The children have to leave home at 6.30am every day as the van travels around so much, and by the time they get to school they are already tired.

By the time they get back home in the afternoon they are so tired they cannot do their homework, as again, the minivan travels half way around the country.

Also of concern is the dangerous way most of these minivans are driven, which is frightening. These vans are crammed full of children, yet they seem be a law unto themselves and have ab­solutely no regard for any other drivers on the road.

They are not only a danger to their passengers but to others on the road, yet no one seems to care. This is a serious problem and the authorities need to see to resolve it as soon as possible.
