As some schools still plan on opening their doors tomorrow morning, parents on the ‘School Run’ are being advised to take precautions on the nation’s roads. One of the Ireland’s largest roadside assistance companies, Mondial Assistance, is expecting a hike in calls from parents stranded on their way to or from their child’s school tomorrow.
The Sandyford-based company, which is a member of the Allianz Group, recorded its busiest day on record last Monday (January 4th), as thousands of office workers returned to work after the Christmas break. The company received 120% more calls for roadside assistance on that day alone, compared with a typical Monday.
Martin Lyons, Director General Manager at Mondial Assistance Ireland advised:"A considerable number of schools will still be opening their doors to students tomorrow, so that means more traffic on the roads. We’re urging parents to take simple measures before they set out on the school run, to avoid becoming stranded. These measures include checking their car’s anti-freeze and their tyre pressure."
