:02:20. > :02:22.for a change in the rules on parents taking their children
:02:23. > :02:25.on holiday during school term time. It comes as one couple are being
:02:26. > :02:28.prosecuted for taking their children out of school for a
:02:29. > :02:32.trip to America earlier this year. They claim the prosecution hs
:02:33. > :02:35.a breach of the Human Rights Act. The MP for Birmingham Yardldy,
:02:36. > :02:39.John Hemming, is advising the couple and is hoping the case leads to
:02:40. > :02:51.current rules being revised. It's obvious that you need something
:02:52. > :02:56.because you can't just allow children out because they nded to go
:02:57. > :03:00.to the shops. However, it's clear from this particular case and others
:03:01. > :03:01.that have been referred to le more locally, that the current rtles are
:03:02. > :03:04.not working and need to be changed. A new campaign to keep children
:03:05. > :03:06.safer on the roads as they walk to school is bding
:03:07. > :03:09.launched in Staffordshire. It follows an increase
:03:10. > :03:11.in the number of drivers fahling to stop for school crossing patrols
:03:12. > :03:15.from 11 in 2012 to 18 last xear And, as Liz Copper reports,
:03:16. > :03:17.things look to be getting worse as there have already been 06
:03:18. > :03:21.incidents this year. Six year old Leighton and Lxnden,
:03:22. > :03:23.who's five, rely on their lollipop lady Lorraine
:03:24. > :03:27.to help them cross the road safely. But last year the brothers had
:03:28. > :03:30.a close shave with a car that didn't stop outshde
:03:31. > :03:45.their school in Kidsgrove. The car was already station`ry then
:03:46. > :03:50.as the kids got halfway across the road she decided to pull off. We
:03:51. > :03:52.shouted out the boys to stop and the driver carried on past the crossing
:03:53. > :03:59.then stopped, turned around and drove on.
:04:00. > :04:10.I thought he was going to rtn over my Certs. Was that scary?
:04:11. > :04:11.The fact that the person had children in the card and sells
:04:12. > :04:12.beggars belief. In this case, the driver
:04:13. > :04:14.was caught and prosecuted. Road safety campaigners say
:04:15. > :04:16.nationally there seems to bd a growing number of cases where
:04:17. > :04:19.motorists fail to stop. Some councils have tried attaching
:04:20. > :04:23.cameras to lollipops ` that can help provide evidence
:04:24. > :04:26.for cases which go to court. It's also a deterrent
:04:27. > :04:37.for errant motorists. Most motorists do stop
:04:38. > :04:39.at school crossings ` but the message for the minority who
:04:40. > :04:43.don't is that irresponsible driving Time for a look at the weather now,
:04:44. > :05:03.here's Mel Coles with the forecast. Good evening. There have bedn 1
