Passing a School Bus

This post to my blog is TRUE , these incidents happen a few times a month

I'm hoping enough people will read them and just take action

please read

This morning I was on the driveway waiting with 3 of my children for the school bus. The bus approached with the yellow lights flashing , then put the stop sign out and the lights turned to red . A man in a sliver crossover made a decision . He decided that what he need to do, was more important than my kids.
He decided that where he needed to get to , couldn't wait ONE minute. He decided to ignore the flashing lights , stop sign, and honking horn of the bus , and he decided to pass the bus .

This is not , by any means the first time this has happened and I'm sure it won't be the last. This is the first time I was able to get the plate # . I also saw the bus driver do the same. I have already reported the plate # and incident. The bus driver has to wait until she safely picks up 30 kids and gets them to the school , but I know she will also report the incident.

If you find yourself making a decision to pass a school bus, you need to re-evaluate . Add 5 minutes to your morning commute , change your route ,
just plain SLOW down. If thinking about the kids isn't enough incentive , then think about this : The first offense fine is a minimum of $250 , up to 4 points on your license and the possibility of 30 days in jail !

thanks for your time reading my post
