A grey Suzuki was filmed driving along the pavement in Dulwich, south east London, during the school run this week.

The video was posted on Twitter by the Dulwich Wood School Street account, which aims to raise awareness about dangerous drivers for parents in the area.

"This every morning. I guess we shouldn’t grumble," the post read.

"I’ve heard there’s a #WarOnMotorists.

"Traffic jams, dangerous driving, idling engines and air pollution is the status quo. A few people are fighting to keep this for some reason."
