Last time I argued about school bus safety and kids running across roads without looking, I got ripped apart by Americans. In Australia we teach kids to hop off buses safely and look both ways before crossing a road after the bus has pulled away.
I’m a school bus driver in California, USA and every driver I know absolutely emphasizes safety above all else. My state would require I exit and cross a student this young with my handheld stop sign, but not all states make this requirement. This driver seems to be blocking most of the road though.
All that said, it’s moments like these that make my day as a driver. Kids are gonna be kids and I do my absolute best to be sure they get home safe.
YES! I'm tired of everyone bashing the US in some of these comments. We have all been taught school street/bus safety since we were in preschool and it was hammered into us all the time the moment we started kindergarten! We also had it drilled into us in driver's ed to never pass a bus with flashing lights so anyone who does that must be an asshole or drunk. I just hate when people talk bad about Americans bc I think we do a really good job of educating street safety to kids! It's always that one idiot who makes us all look bad....
