There's a refreshing "multiple viewpoint" exploration of the subject. Visit the link and explore. I'm not sure if the link will expire after a day or two or not.

Safe Speed - School run saves lives
Safe Speed today insisted that the school run was in fact responsible for saving the lives of children, as it took them off pavements and road crossings and into the ?safer environment? of their parents? cars. It rejected the suggestion that school run traffic should be reduced to save lives, and said claims that 200 children were killed each year in the school run were inconsistent with government figures showing only 171 children died on the roads last year.

Paul Smith, founder Safe Speed, said: "The school run is a significant life saver. Over last 20 years we have seen child road deaths reduce by almost 70 per cent. Other factors have been important too, but the school run is highly likely to be responsible for well over a quarter of this improvement."
