Today I was more than a little bit annoyed by the behavior I witnessed.
There was a school bus picking up students.
It was completely STOPPED.
It had "flashing for safety" tail lights.
There was a completely visible line of students boarding the bus.
And, last but certainly not least, the bus had
a large, glowing and flashing red
STOP SIGN
sticking out to the side of the bus.
A STOP SIGN.
That clearly indicates you should stop, right?
I hope I was not the only one who was both amazed and outright angered by the not one, not two, but THREE people who totally disregarded the
glowing, flashing stop sign, and drove right around the bus.
Really, people!!??
I admit to my fair share of idiotic driving when I was younger, but not now.
And certainly not around a school bus!
Come on, people, please slow down, and please, please, please,
for the safety of our kids,
DO NOT GO AROUND A SCHOOL BUS SPORTING A GLOWING, FLASHING STOP SIGN.
Please.
Our kids are definitely worth the extra two minutes it will take to wait for the bus to finish loading.
Thank you,
and now, I will get off my soapbox.
