driving past a bus stop sign....

No. The person thought I was being unreasonable. It's one of those burdens I'll have to carry with me for the rest of my life.

I think a ticket with a steep fine would have helped!! How did they want to justify passing you and the bus?

Oh you know the typical...."that law is stupid, shouldn't you be out catching murderers or something rather than harassing people over stupid stuff? blah blah blah".

While it's still only a summary offense here it's a steep one. Fine is $250 + costs and an automatic 5 points (you can only accumulate 6).

I never used to really think about the whole passing a stopped school bus till this year. My youngest daughter rides the bus home and because she's only 7 someone has to meet her at the bus stop. Mostly that job has fallen on me & I've noticed on numerous occasions that the kids will jump off the bus and just run to whereever their parents are. None of them actually look before running across the road. Luckly most of them are not crossing the street 99% of the time. It only happens when the parents are walking up, myself included.

I now make it a strict point to make my daughter stop and look before we cross the street and that's with the bus stopped with the stop sign out.
