... is highly offensive (but accurately reflects on how some parents view the school run).
I see a Bakfiets appears in it - use of bike signifying risk and obstacle to driver supremacy...
I was going to flag up but have only seen once on some obscure channel

Unintentionally accurate.

Both parent and child look really happy though, unlike the miserable, aggressive morons in the cars!

yeah, I thought the biking pair came out of it rather well!

Watched it with the sound down, is it not quite funny? Not sure how it sells insurance, but then I had sound down. Liked bakfiets, happily avoiding the rush, everyone else mad. Liked lunchbox left on top of car, emergency stop for pee etc and the school run treated as a Grand Prix.
With the sound down it is a satire on how mental people are to engage in the motorised school run.

I assumed, quite possibly because it was linked to from this thread, that it was a pro-cycling advert. That was still my understanding until about 2 seconds from the end when it suddenly said it was for something completely different. #FAIL

Must admit the 'slippers!?' comment is not reserved for car-borne offspring; one morning we had cycled half a mile before I noticed my youngest was still wearing her baffies...
