It's back to school time. Some of us can't wait to watch our kid board that bus, the rest of us dread getting stuck behind one. Here's a quick refresher course on some school bus safety:
Little ones may be escorted onto the bus by a parent, but remind the bigger kids to stand back from the curb and avoid rough play at the bus stop.
Both students and drivers need to remember that boarding and exiting a bus are the riskiest times. Even if the flashing signal stops and the bus moves on, keep in mind some kids are more focused on their backpacks or friends.
When crossing, remind kids to stay several giant steps in FRONT of the bus, so the driver will be able to see them.
Whether you have kids or not, If you think a bus stop is in a dangerous location, you can contact your school or transportation office about having it moved.
