It's a hair-raising experience.
I'm talking about driving to work now students are back at school.
Throughout the end of December and January, you get lulled into a false sense of security, even thinking you can leave for work five minutes later.
Then this week, the memories come flooding back.
Not only are over-excited children darting out from nowhere but there are impatient drivers, pumped up behind the wheel, furious about being stuck in the extra busy traffic.
