You're a fucking idiot and should have your driver's license revoked

When you see a fucking school bus, how about using an abundance of caution so you don't kill a child??? Is it really that hard?

The giant yellow bus with a stop sign isn’t warning enough to the driver?

Not mention all the flashing/strobing lights. Got no sympathy for drivers who run reds at a SB stop.

BTW, stops are not marked with signs as they can change from year to year. In short everywhere is school bus stop.

This. Exactly. Plus it’s the MORNING and you see kids with backpacks standing there waiting like… only a super distracted idiot can’t take all of the signs. And if someone is that much of a distracted idiot, they aren’t safe to drive.

Any time I see a school bus I assume it is going to stop at some point to pick up kids or for a train track. I also assume frequent stops.

Isn’t that what you are supposed to do?

Nah buddy I’ve been putting kids on the school bus since 2015 and I can tell you that I live on a 40 mph road, but right across the street from a t in the road that causes most cars to have to stop at my driveway and wait for those turning left off my road or those turning out into it and people legit still fly by at 60 mph ESPECIALLY in the mornings. The bus slows and puts its lights on and then the stop sign comes out and the we wait for the stick on the front of it to fully extend. ANDDDD we are standing right there about to cross the road.

And douchebags speed by. It isn’t the fault of the bus.

The white strobe light, the yellow color, the red flashing stop sign, what the fuck else do you need?

This has NOTHING to do with signage, and EVERYTHING to do w/ an irresponsible driver.
