I used to work a few miles away from an elementary school, and don't let those moms with minivans and bumper stickers about driving slow, saving children, etc. fool you. They were some of the most aggressive drivers I've run into (not literally, of course, but they almost ran into me a few times). I always went the speed limit within a few miles of the school, and on the highway leading up to the exit the school was off of, those crazy women would go flying past me +20mph over the speed limit, swerving, braking hard, just trying to jump up a few spots. Poor kids, I can remember a few times them looking out the windows at me terrified. I can't imagine driving like that with a child in the vehicle. I'm sure those are the same kind of people who glare at you when you're puttering around at the speed limit in a neighborhood, just because of the kind of car you're in.
