Unfortunately with some kids, you can repeatedly read them the riot act about staying safe in traffic, etc... but until something happens to them, where they realize they are NOT invincible, its simply falling on deaf ears.The Bus Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259280794473075615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458892821938947907.post-63475546718764443162009-09-21T16:35:19.458-07:002009-09-21T16:35:19.458-07:00I absolutely agree that people need to stop for sc...I absolutely agree that people need to stop for school buses, but when you see one of your kids get off the bus and run across the street without looking just because traffic is supposed to stop, PLEASE read them the riot act the next day anyway! <br /><br />They need to get in the habit of looking carefully for cars both because (a) some drivers are idiots and (b) at least in my state, drivers are not required to stop for normal city buses. We've had kids not know this and get hit by cars because they were used to taking school buses and assumed that cars would stop for them when they darted in front of a stopped city bus and crossed the road. It's never too early to get them in good habits, even if they do have the right-of-way while they're on using a school bus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458892821938947907.post-86235178225272814372009-09-21T10:28:25.350-07:002009-09-21T10:28:25.350-07:00Scream this from the mountain tops!!!!Scream this from the mountain tops!!!!ChiTown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240876368610100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458892821938947907.post-62932161883300974852009-09-21T06:34:57.829-07:002009-09-21T06:34:57.829-07:00In my state if you pass a school bus you get enoug...In my state if you pass a school bus you get enough points on your license for it to be suspended twice! No questions asked. That should be the minimum penalty. I take school buses very seriously and everyone else should too.
