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.

How can you trust young children to never cross the road even if they are taught not to.

Its the full responsibility of drivers not to pass a stopped school bus from both sides.

In other countries we educate our kids not to walk onto a street without looking both ways. Here, they're also taught to only cross when the bus has left, so their view isn't impaired.

In the UK when I was a kid, we had singing hedgehogs. That gave us PSAs on crossing safely.
