Illegal Passing is a Problem!!!

When a school bus is stopped, lights are flashing, and the stop arm is extended, you MUST stop as well! There are students leaving the bus, and some will be crossing the road. Keep your eyes open and be aware of what's going on.



Each year students are injured while entering or exiting the school bus. This is a problem that can be very easily fixed. All you need to do is stop and pay attention. Over the last forty years about eleven students are hit a year, on average, by vehicles that ignore the stopped buses. If you ask me, that is eleven too many.

In all seriousness, passing a stopped bus isn't only dangerous, it's illegal. You will be given a ticket. The drivers are told to report any passing vehicle to base when they return from route. We then take the plate numbers and hand them over to the police. We don't like people getting in trouble, but we like it even less when the students are in danger.
