it's been that way in NY forever...If Stalin and Mao had this much power, China and Russia would still be mostly empty wastelands...
Personally, I think they should force every car within in a one-mile radius to stop any time a school bus is loading or unloading children.
Soon they’ll have the technology to accomplish this. Then I’ll feel better, knowing that my good thoughts helped to protect The Children. I will finally know that I am Morally Superior.
We’ve always had to stop for buses here in Michigan. It sucks to follow one but kids aren’t the most watchful road crossers.
A couple years ago a kid in my hometown hit and killed a father who was throwing his child out of the way. The crazy thing is that the driver of the car was the bus diver’s son.
“It's to protect the children.” <- Always the excuse when they want to take more freedom and enact more big brother.
it's been that way in NY forever...Makes sense to make people stop IF THE KID IS CROSSING THE STREET. Unfortunately, at least in TX, the dang sign goes out even if the kid just gets out of the door and walks up to the house. That’s ridiculous.
That's a false statement of the law, but what can you expect from the media.
I recall when Eleanor Tinsley raised the maximum fine for passing a stopped school bus in Houston to $1,000. Don’t know if that maximum still stands (it was in the 1990s).
My parents made a point of TEACHING ME HOW TO CROSS the street.
I still remember it. I was 5 years old, starting Kindergarten, and they let out a bit late, so the crossing guards went home prior. So we were all out there on our own - and we all survived. I still remember that I wouldn’t try crossing the (somewhat busy) street if there was a car within sight. That usually worked, until SOME IDIOT would stop and INSIST that I cross in front of him. I had trouble dealing with that.
By the way, the pedophiles were safely locked away back then, so no problem there.
I see mailbox baseball is going to shift a bit.
