The kid never looked for traffic on either side and just ran infront of the buss. A passing car would never had any chance to react.

Edit: In my profession I do risk assesments and investigate accidents.

Here in the states, a school bus with it's lights on and signs out has functionally higher 'authority' than an ambulance. EVERYTHING that could come near a school bus stops. Like even divided highways sometimes pause for them if that's what needs to happen.

Secondly I can tell that's a suburban neighborhood, (single stop sign, unmarked roads, 2 different asphalt, shady trees) max speed limit there is 30mph, and you'd get squinted at if you actually went that fast. AND everyone who lives around there knows when the busses are dropping off kids, probably to the nearest 10 minutes too.

And the cemetery is full of people who had the right of way. Yes cars should stop but that doesn’t mean they do. Still, the best practice is to have kids look first cause there may be some jack ass who just won’t stop.
