Many parents spend hours each week in the car driving multiple children to multiple activities. Parents are often left with feelings of frustration and anxiety due to the traffic conditions, and constantly running late. This creates distracted drivers that are at a higher risk of causing an accident. Some parents rely on carpools or family members to help with driving the kids around.
