Drive carefully around school buses.
How much do we value a child's life?
Each day, children are at risk from cars passing parked school buses.
Do we have to wait until one child is hurt? No.
How about a notice, something like this, on the back of each school bus: Stop! No passing any stationary school bus!
A fine of at least $1000, or a prison term if any child is injured by a vehicle passing a stationary school bus.
Your car's number plate will be recorded by the bus driver and many witnesses and children will be taught to watch and remember the number of any car which passes a school bus.
Drivers must learn to avoid school bus routes between the hours of 7 to 9am and 3 to 5pm.
