School Bus Safety

School bus drivers frequently witness reckless drivers on the road. They often pass the buses while they are picking up kids on the street or sidewalks, even when the stop arm is out and the lights are on. These incidents can happen at any time during the day, which puts both drivers and children in danger. The stop arm and red lights are out for a reason, and children often cross over from one side of the bus to the other.
