As a mother of middle school children who ride the bus I have witnessed cars driving right through the stop sign of their bus almost daily. Thankfully my children board and exit on the right side of the bus and don’t have to cross the road. But many children at their stop do and there have been some close calls. Honking at them does nothing to deter these unsafe drivers either. I’m also friends with the young girl, Addison’s mother and I remember when she was hit by a motorist crossing the road to her bus. Thankfully she was ok! But Addisons bill would make riding the bus much safer for the young students preventing them from having to cross the unsafe roads!
