He will stop bus if he sees us driving late to catch bus and pick up my son. I have utmost respect for bus drivers i know. They cant keep pulling over there are laws on amount of time kids can be on bus. So they HAVE to stay on SCHEDULE hance the cant add more stops

What would be a nice gesture (one I’ve never seen), would be when a bus driver sees a long line of cars behind him/her, if they pulled over to the side of the road to let that long line of cars get past the bus.

No one respects the law anymore

“Back in October, local police, the Mass. Department of Transportation, and school bus companies participated in “Operation Yellow Blitz” in 70 cities and towns across the state….Among the western Mass. towns involved in the program were Amherst, Gill, Greenfield, and Westfield.

In the one day blitz, 32 motorists were found illegally passing buses. No citations were issued in the western Mass. communities.”

It doesn’t say “No citations were issued”. What it says is that they did this “blitz” in 70 towns, only four of which were in western MA. In the 70 towns, a total of 32 motorists were caught passing busses. Perhaps none of those 32 motorists were in the four western MA towns. Perhaps you should read for comprehension and not skim to complain.

Our bus driver can get plate numbers in his review mirror.

Danek on Facebook Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:28:08 +0000 http://www.wggb.com/?p=176490#comment-42120 I see it happen in Northampton all the time… drivers blowing right by school buses with their lights flashing. I know it can be irritating to have to stop every single time the bus needs to stop, which can be an obnoxiously large # of times on one strip of road, but they do so for a reason. This story is one of them.

One guy who got a ticket stopped at my house to even tell me off… he left apologizing to me with his tail between his legs.

Nice.
