Pastor Dave's Highlights

Depends on the distance that must be travelled I would think. Since she's lived with it for her entire life (to date), I guess she knows what she can and can not do without assistance of some nature.

This morning, with bus stopped to pick up my boys and red lights flashing and stop arms out, 2 vehicles approaching from the front of the bus, decided it was ok to meet the bus and drive through the prohibited lane the boys would be walking across to gain entry to the bus. It was sun up and visible without use if headlights. Fortunately, the bus driver was aware and holding out her arm to keep the boys from approaching, and I am very vigilant too, but my first grader had to keep being told to wait. It is disturbing and I do not know any better way to correct it.

I called and left a mssg with the school corp stating it was no fault of the bus driver's, but it is disturbing and I am at a loss as to what to do. I was calm and polite and am waiting for a reply. Vent over and curious as to what, if anything more I can do besides go crazy.

Maybe a flashlight with a flashing strobe on it to shake at the drivers? Take pictures of their liscense plates and turn over to the police or create a web site or Facebook page shaming drivers that drive through a stopped school bus zone? Call the local TV station and let them do a story on drivers like that? Carry a walkway stop sign and shake it at people? The best and most satisfying thing to do would be to shoot out their tires, then open up a six pack of whoop-em when they got out of their car, but that would get you in trouble.

It is very disturbing!!! Regardless of if your children are 8 or 16, it's so dangerous when other drivers don't stop and pay attention.

I agree with taking pictures of license plates and turning into the police, then contact TV station and local news paper....you can get fake video surveillance cameras on amazon with a sign that glows in the dark also saying "This property is under vidio surveillance 24 /7" ,the "cameras come 2 in a package, are battery powered red blinking lights that look "on" and are about $34.00 for the two cameras and the sign....sure works around here ....may be nice to have two at the area that your boys catch the bus ....

I agree with Bay. How effing stupid can people be???? In so much of a hurry that running over a kid going to a bus is acceptable? There are billboards in Canada related to this very thing. Don't know when it happened but a boy was killed by someone who didn't think the buses flashing lights and stop sign applied to them.

Definitely stand out there with a camera pointed directly at oncoming vehicles. IF you happened to get the plates from these 2 jerks, call the cops and turn them in. Too bad the bus doesn't have a dash cam, the driver could turn them in.

People are insane...what is even the point of doing that...they would rather plow over little kids than wait a minute or 2?
Is there a reason that school buses don't have dashcams?

$$$$$.... I don't know if they even have seat belts yet in them....sure doesn’t make ANY sense to me .....but I am , from the generation that if you lived less than two miles from school, you walked...no matter what the weather was in New Hampshire

Yup when it comes down to, it's $$$
