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.

Thanks for pointing it out..

Can anyone please explain this to me.

Doesn't usually open doors on the foothpath side? So, Passengers alight on the foothpath.. He's alighting on the road.

Doesn't matter when you say, "You don't overtake a standing school bus" but you can never know. Accidents don't tell you before they happen.

Our school buses have stop signs with flashing lights attached that deploy when the driver stops and opens the door. So, yes, someone could just try to go around but it’s illegal and most people don’t because they know a kid is about to get out.

So "most" kids don't get hit by a car? That's good then.

Kids getting hit by cars are almost never exiting a bus. The reason busses have those features is because kids are fucking stupid.
