While I feel her frustration, throwing an egg, could be a crime, and a raging driver could become violent. PLEASE BE CAREFUL DOING THIS! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, AND BE SAFE!
Just an idea, why don't we equip the buses with speed cameras that become active when the stop sign on the bus is deployed catching all the vehicles plates that pass slapping them with 1k fines, once the public is aware the yellow buses are equipped with these cameras I'm sure it will lower the rate of violators.
A lot of areas do have that. It sometimes works but depending on state/local laws, the photo isn't always enough - sometimes you still need a cop there to witness it.
Laws. They are being implemented but lots of laws about a police officer has to witness the crime for a ticket to be written, or a police officer has to physically write the ticket, they cant be sent through the mail. Those laws protecting you from government surveillance also stop the government from using cameras to write people tickets. Its also the same laws stopping them from putting speed cameras up everywhere, which frankly might not be a bad idea.
It would take a lot of money and resources to do this to all of the maybe millions of school buses across the country; I’m sure some states / counties have these tools but to do it on a federal level would have a heavy cost (I’m not saying it shouldn’t be done though)
If barely anyone was killed, then doesn’t that kind of suggest that maybe children are not suicidal and that the government has failed to recognize that in its laws?
Like the egg idea! But there's lots of factors here; School Bus stops are where the speed limit is too high, no warning so catching drivers by surprise, also we're all aware that kids are taught to look both ways, so with that in mind maybe drivers assume they will be doing that - otherwise, it's kind of a contradiction (Just sayin what might be going through a driver's mind).
"Not high enough accidents for a yellow blinking sign", that's the sucky thing. The DOT won't install stuff unless something is either busy enough or has enough accidents, even with things like signs at intersections or crosswalks.
Yes the drivers are in the wrong for not stopping for the school bus and they know they are supposed to stop for the bus. But just because the motorists choose to step out of line doesn't mean we need to stoop to their level. On one news investigation I remember when someone stepped out of line, they called the police and the law enforcement accused the news cameraman of "video harassment". I am sure by now once these motorists had their picture taken are pretty provoked.
“Not enough accidents”??? So kids have to die before the Sheriff/District takes any action??? Okay…we select YOUR kids as tribute. Guarantee if it was their kids, they’d have a sign out within the hour.
Throwing eggs? Smart, respond to a crime with a different crime. I've never driven past a school bus with red lights flashing, but if she hit my car with an egg by mistake, I'd beat her ass for it. That's a stupid non-solution to a problem police should be handling. If someone has such little regard to begin with, its not a stretch to imagine they may shoot you over throwing an egg at them.
Say you're walking six kids to the school bus. If a car blows the flashing red lights and hits ALL six children at the stop and still keeps on going without slowing down a single second, just press charges of attempted vehicular manslaughter and see if they learn their lesson in prison. On second thought, if a motorist drives past the bus with the flashing lights on, there oughta be a stiffer penalty for such an offense. How about a six-month suspension of their licence and a microchip placed in the car(s) that monitors the driver's speed 24/7? That will get their attention.
Are you donating your six children? Make it a $100,000,000 and 3 to 5 fatal beating but if they don't get charged and the chances are really great that they won't and if a judge don't find them guilty and there is an even better chance that they won't, what have you accomplished?
That will just cause more harm than good, unfortunately, and it will hurt your cause. The driver will get blinded and hit someone else's car or house or even an innocent pedestrian as a result.
What are they gonna do? Admit you didn’t stop for a school bus putting a child’s life in danger? (Edit: I said they instead of you after the word admit. I wanted to correct it!)
@@Iwillpeerintotheeyesofyoursoul They can still sue and they will likely be entitled to compensation for any damages or injuries caused by the person's egg throwing, whether or not it was for a good cause.
Omg I can't believe some of these comments saying that this woman is stooping to there level by throwing eggs at these people who won't stop ! Have you ever seen a child get run over by a speeding car just because there a holes who don't want to stop for a school bus! I drive a school bus and I drive a busy road that a holes don't stop for my kids. Do like I do stop sideways in the road! Oh and if you get caught running a stop sign in TN its a 1000 roller fine. Hit my bus and see what happens!!!
DUMB CHILDISH AND DANGEROUS * Why waste food❓ Her dumb@$$ put her child in MORE danger🤦♂️ People are gunned down these days for stupid shit like throwing eggs on/at a damn car 😒 (people are gunned done for LESS as well) She need to rethink life🤭
I feel this mom’s frustration. While my kids no longer take the school bus I HATE seeing this so much especially when you hear about children being killed because of it. One day I swerved to prevent a car from doing this. He didn’t hit me. He slammed on his brakes. He almost hit me but I was willing to take the hit. Luckily children had not exited the bus yet.
The school busses in our neighborhood all position the bus across both lanes at every stop. That way, there’s no room to drive by the bus. Pretty smart actually.
Throwing an object at someone's car makes her just as wrong as they are. It's illegal and can cause an accident and she could actually be held civil liable and be sued
If you want to control this crime, if you get a license plate number, you can impound the vehicle for 30- days and have the owner pay the return fee. You may not get the perpetrator but you will remove the vehicle from the road for a time. This will get the owner to give up the driver of said vehicle if they were not the actual person behind the wheel.
Buy a big, old truck for $500. Park it at the end of the drive. When the bus pulls up, pull your truck across the road to block it. When the bus pulls away, back into your driveway.
I agree and that alone makes this mother very right in going to the media about this issue; maybe she can get a petition with a good explanation for why there should be yellow flashing lights there and the city officials can make it happen
I have a solution to make car stop for a stopped school buses allowed the school bus to have spike strips on both sides of the bus as soon as the stop sign comes out the spike strips comes out and for people who can’t follow the rules of the road and stop for a school bus gets 4 flat tire😭😱😢 😂🤣😭
I'm a school bus driver, and my solution is that we should be allowed to keep a couple bricks nearby and huck them out the window at the windshields of cars that run the stop sign. I'll have to try suggesting eggs to my boss, I like her thinking. If someone wants to get out and start shit over the eggs, I also have a tire thumper next to my seat.
The is a genuine question since you drive school bus. How are cars supposed to stop in time when vehicles are already passing the bus on amber lights (not required to stop in my state) and the bus driver slams on the red lights? Do school bus drivers need to give proper notice?
@sldj15 🤣🤣🤣 People like you crack me up. The yellows ARE your "proper notice", genius. What do you want them to do, mail you a notice? 🙄 If the yellows are flashing, they are about to stop to load/unload kids. Once they actually stop, the reds come on when the door opens - which could be at any time. They've worked the exact same way for many decades so not sure why in 2024 youndont understand this simple concept.
Throwing eggs is a good way of identifying a culprit as they may stop to confront the mother, who now has the plate number and the driver's physical description recorded to provide to LEO. On the flip side, there's always a chance, however slight, that it could also cause a wreck and the possibility exists that she could be found culpable in civil court.
I feel for the parents there is no excise why they can't stop for the bus why don't they pay for the child medical bills out of there Pocket owe now they care!
The worst excuse is, “I didn’t see it!” Well, either way, that just proves you shouldn’t be driving because, one you’re blind. Two, you don’t pay any attention.
No we just have enough common sense to know that distracting or blinding the drivers with eggs could lead to them losing control and causing an accident or hitting the kids you are trying to protect.
@@kubotaman85 the way some people are they might blame the child for the accident. I've seen videos of people using the sidewalk to get around buses. The latest one I found the driver used the sidewalk in front of the school while the kids were being unloaded.
If you throw an egg at a car and it hits the windshield. You could actually blind that driver and he WILL hit somebody.
There is something called windshield wipers
And windshield washer fluid
They’ll learn to stop, won’t they.
I would just throw rocks at the cars.
Even if she didn't hit the car with an egg.. it is still equally possible for someone to get hit.
this is where my idea should come into play: something that slides out from under the bus and flips up to block other lane of traffic.
While I feel her frustration, throwing an egg, could be a crime, and a raging driver could become violent. PLEASE BE CAREFUL DOING THIS! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, AND BE SAFE!

Have the bus driver block both lanes. This should be done everywhere.
Roll out SPIKE STRIPS. $600. for 4 New tires. Law Enforcement stated, "Not enough Kids have been KILLED for us to do Anything"
If barely anyone was killed, then doesn’t that kind of suggest that maybe children are not suicidal and that the government has failed to recognize that in its laws?
Update on this issue please🙏🏽
Jeez people, it's not going to kill you to wait a minute or two for the kids to get off the bus.
Nah we don't need more signs! The US needs to reform its driving school and test!!! They need to be strict like Germany!

Have the Bus driver block both lanes. Or have volunteer escort drivers who will block the other lane.
Can you imagine escorts for school buses? Crazy idea but might be worth it. WAY too many stupid/impatient people on the road these days!!
Where are the police
at the donut shop
Dunkin?
To busy fighting the war on drugs.
Waking up from napping.
Egging a car is just as dangerous.

In NYC school bus drivers will park the bus across both lanes, blocking all traffic in both directions so kids can load/unload.

@@k.o.h3599 Yeah, _that_ sounds like a smart idea. 🙄
Yeah, and every single jury would nullify the law when they heard her reasoning. She would be acquitted every time.
Some places have added a long arm on the stop sign, like the one on front shown at 2:08
What are you talking about the one on the front of the bus? That's been on every bus for 40 years

Not smart to take an egg to a gun fight,
She needs to get on city council to get it done.
There is NO excuse for passing a stopped schoolbus with lights flashing. NO EXCUSE, NONE, NOTTA!!
Poor choice. Throw an egg and get arrested for property damage, or worse, distract the driver who then hits the kids and others.
The police won't do anything cause the law is not strong enough.
Make it a $2000 dollar fine. I bet they will stop.
This is why I hit cars with crowbars if they pass stopped school bus
