WHY DRIVER'S DON'T STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES?
Dear Person driving the car who injured the child getting on or off the bus,
How many people have every had someone in their family that was hurt or injured by another car?
I haven't but I have had heard some really CRAZY stories. The stories I have heard about people passing their stop signs and looking the bus driver like they are CRAZY. But in turn the bus driver has to look at for the kids that are outside the bus and then they are watching the kids that they have already picked up. I believe that the drivers driving the cars or other vehicles that pass the bus, really are not thinking what they are doing. If you are running late, then you need to leave earlier. If you know that a bus stops on your route to your destination, then you need to leave early or change it.
In my opinion, driver's who pass stopped school buses should get a punishment. If they were to cause a wreck or injury someone, that punishment would need to be a little bit harsh. I have had the privilege of being a School bus driver's daughter for both parents. My mother drove for 29 years (elementary, middle and high school). My father has been driving for 18 1/2 years (elementary, middle and high school).
I praise bus drivers of any transportation (ie: school, trailway, and city bus). I could not do your job. With the School bus drivers, some have a total of 50 to 60 elementary kids on their bus. Yes, BY THEIR SELF. Then there is the bus drivers that driver for middle and high school, they have a total of 30 to 40 kids. Which I know that those are able to handle themselves. But in some cases their are not. If you think you can handle this, go right ahead.
Basically, what I am saying. DRIVERS, PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR SCHOOL BUSES AND THE KIDS GETTING ON OR OFF THE BUS. If the stop arm is out, please stop. I hate seeing on the news that a child has been injured getting on and off the bus. Please watch out.
Thank you ,
A Bus Driver's Daughter
