@@mcheese420 You're the idiot here. But you're probably a kid who thinks not stopping for a school bus is no big deal.

@@MrCODEmaster00 She didn’t say that, either. As you yourself wrote, she only stated, “I didn’t see…” So you’re assuming as much as anyone else is that it’s the sign or the lights or the bus.
“I didn’t see it.” “Ok I’m going to mandate an eye exam at the DMV to be sure you’re still fit to drive. You cannot drive until you are cleared. Please step out of the car.” “What?! Oh ok, I did see it but I just don’t care.”
The way I've seen some people drive I wouldn't be too surprised if she was really not paying attention. Terrifying that drivers like that exist on the roads.
The lights on a big yellow bus, which are independent, fore and aft, no excuse for not seeing it (and I know that was the only type shown in the video). If it was one of those vans, though, that had the sign bolted to the roof and the one light shines both ways, it's possible to have that back-lit by the sun so it's hard to see if it's on or not. I only know that because it happened to me, and I got the two cars behind me in a fender-bender when I suddenly realized the lights were on. Luckily it was already only a 25 mph road.
If she didn't see it, I would have added carless operation, failure to maintain control and distracted driving to the litany of charges. How could she NOT see it?
I'm a retired school bus driver, I once had a stop in a semi rural area that has no curbs just a gravel shoulder ( it was also right across the street from a Jr High School) it just happens to also be a High income area I had been warned of an individual that would pass a stopped school bus on the shoulder and had barely missed students getting on the bus on several prior occasions, one day true to form this individual did it to me nearly striking and badly frightening a seven year old girl, well it just so happened that I was raised, with the chief of police of that particular suburb, and knew that a complaint from me directly to him would not be ignored, so I informed him of the situation,the next day the chief positioned his squad in a spot where he could clearly see the intersection but could not be seen from the main road well this idiot pulled his stunt again, and was quickly stopped and cited with a ticket that required, a court appearance, when the judge asked him why he would pull such a risky maneuver when he could clearly see the lights and the extended stop arm he replied " if I can't see the stop arm, I don't have to stop" the judge quickly disabused him of that notion and asked him if he had anything else to say whereupon he really stuck his foot in it with " I was in a hurry and I'm more important than a bunch of brats" hearing this the judge, doubled his fine, and suspended his license for a year. A few days later another vehicle pulled this same stunt, and the chief ( who was in the area on a different matter) happened to see it, again the offender was swiftly pulled over, the chief was dumbfounded, when he discovered that it was the first offenders wife, and he was sitting right next to her! This time the judge threw the book at them,suspending her license for two years, and ordering them to hire a chauffeur ,( which they could well afford) and told them that if either was found driving during their suspension, they would go immediately to prison.
Sounds like a fellow Guard member who noted that the 25 mph signs were only on the EZPass lanes of the local toll booth, and there weren't any signs on the manned lanes, so he'd go 60 mph through the manned lanes, instead (never mind that the entire road drops to 35 approaching the tolls, and is only 55 at its highest speed). The entire rest of the room was stunned. He was one of the senior guys, too. Not some E-3 newbie.

@@ChillingCap watch the whole video carefully the school buses flashing red lights were on before the Prius pulled into the intersection pay attention to the road carefully don't pull into the intersection until your exit on the other side is clear if you can't learn to follow school bus stop sign laws then you shouldn't be driving.
I support 100% the fine of 700 for the violation of this infraction. So many children have been killed or seriously injured by drivers who do not abide by this law .
This is a good thing. I knew a little girl who was killed by this very thing way back in 1987. It launched her 75 feet through the air. I was just a kid but I met her mother years later. She never recovered from it. She was standing in the yard waiting for her. She watched the whole thing. I can not imagine the anguish of seeing that.
I wonder how the driver survived the collision. Most Moms around here would have gouged out the driver's eyes and then hunted for their brain. Finding the brain of an idiot is a tough job, but Moms have a lot of motivation.
I still remember the one truck driver that missed a 9year old girl by less than a foot going 25mph as she was getting on the bus, the man went home, took his license plate off and unhooked and removed the battery to pretend his car hasn't been on the road for a while, he got additional charges of tampering with evidence and obstruction for these actions
@@youngroshi4677 that is disgusting and awfully sad. There has to be something that can be done to improve safety for the kids, as clearly these signs and lights don’t work.

@@themagicminstrels476 they work for the people who actually care to follow the laws. here when they pick up/drop off though the bus will angle itself diagonally across the road. so it's impossible to go speeding past without colliding with the front of the bus.
@@themagicminstrels476 the signs are clear to me, but just don't click my mind connecting them to the right action so that sometimes i would horn to the cars behind a school bus or exceed a school bus.
My mother was a school bus driver for 27 years. When she was picking up students at the end of the day the principal drove through 11 sets of lights. A cop gave him a ticket for all of them and from what I was told court didn't give him a break. It was over 3 grand. (This was 30 years ago) not today's prices.
Is it possible the principal drove thru because he knew the kids were all getting *onto* the bus *on the same side* and they were not at all *going into* the street. I believe in my state that is an exception to the rule.
“I didn’t see the lights” Would you not see a child crossing the street then?!🤦🏻♂️ A big yellow object with flashing lights and a built in stop sign should suffice
@@what982 did we not watch the same video? She's a repeat offender, has no license and is basically untouchable because she's not even a legal citizen. So, yes. Hur dur, this "immigrant"(*illegal alien) is in fact bad.
@@what982 well, it must be nice to live in a place where you don't have to worry about things like that. But, for us living in border states, we live the reality of it.
The happiest day of my elementary school career was when a teacher we all HATED drove past ALL the buses picking up students at the end of the day and got fined for every last one, doubled since it was in a school zone!
She was too busy touching the future to be in the here and now? We had Karens in the old days too. We didn't call them "Karens", we called them "bitches".
When we got on the buses at the end of the day, they parked against the curb next to the sidewalk in front of the school and shut the engine off about 30 minutes before school was out. They didn’t turn on the flashing lights just for us to walk out the front door and get on. Traffic was free to move up and down the street passing multiple buses without any issues.
This is a great way to teach drivers responsibility and for the city to earn revenue. This initiative gets a 5 out of 5. Great job. I've seen footage of children hit or run over by vehicles that refuse to stop.
When I was in school in the 70s and 80s, the bus drivers would have the kids keep an eye out for drivers not stopping and get the plate numbers. And being a really small town it wasn't long before everyone knew who the offending drivers were.
"I didn't see the large number of red-blinking lights right in front of me". She should immediately be required to redo her drivers tests before she can drive again.
Good, stupid ass law, children are boarding on the opposite side, no reason not to pass the bus as there is 0 danger involved, and then you have to pay that much money for not putting anyone in danger or anything, just cringe
The moment they say they didn’t see the school bus. They should have their license revolked. They just admitted they can’t see good enough to be behind the wheel.
LOL yup! "Officer, I didn't see the school bus!" "Oh, If you can't see a huge yellow vehicle with flashing lights in the middle of the road, you can't be driving until you get clearance from both your doctor and the DMV, so go ahead and make some calls and see if anyone can come pick you up."
@GRODT Gang Sounds like me. I'm a little white girl who can't stand pussies like you who can't accept the fact that zudemaster is more than likely right.
"With _A_ point attached" geez this is so lenient... In quebec, passing a bus is 9 points (you have 15 total...), And I don't even want to know how much money it is. There is a bunch of kids. Stop your damn car...
@@MJScoutArchMar Well adults have a failure of logical process then as well otherwise adults wouldn't jay walk. Nah it is just a failure in teaching your kids on looking left and right on the road.
So considering that this happens thousand of times every days during school, maybe it's time that the system as is to be re-examined as to how good the present warning system is actually.
@@hamnchee ... That is why there is a law in place that states drivers must stop when a bus has its red lights flashing. Children do not always logically process information like responsible adults do.
i applaud the officers for doing this. it isn't about the money; it's about keeping children safe. i used to stand in the middle of the road in the other lane when the bus loaded/unloaded. i'd rather get hit than have something happen to a child.
@@MisterMikeTexas How is that excessive? It's proving a point. $700 is a lot less then a kid getting ran over and killed because a driver doesn't care.
@@windhunter2270 I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. She was probably looking to the left as she was turning and could have missed the lights.

@@clashwithmoi8926 That depends on what you're driving and where you live. When I was young barely scrapping by living paycheck to paycheck and could only afford a hooptie. I was always getting targeted by police. Once they saw I had insurance and no criminal record half would let me go half would ticket me to cover themselves from harassment. One time I went without being able to buy groceries cause of paying for a ticket. That was for doing 65 on a 55 highway, I was running late for work. Yet I being passed by people in newer cars.
Guy I went to school with was actually hit by a car after getting off the activity bus. The car drove around the bus on a two lane road (one lane each way.) I honestly don't remember what ever happened to the driver, but the kid that got hit ended up being okay for the most part.
Insurance on a blue Prius is higher than most sports cars. It turns out the owners feel like they've done their good deed and are statistically proven - Bad Drivers
Charlie Gaston It doesn't have to be blue. They all drive like an idiot wrapped in a moron, blocking the left lane off by slow racing the pokey butt moron in the right lane, pulling out in front of people, and other worse things. I think it's absolutely hilarious when a diesel pickup rolls coal on them.
Prius owners, Corolla owners, matter of fact all toyota owners are the biggest problems on the roads, but prius owners are the dumbest people on the planet.
I worked on an Ambulance in Indianapolis for years and drivers ignore us too! Red lights and sirens and they will not pull over or yield the right of way to us. We could use 6-10 police cars on every run we make to issue citations! I can imagine it’s double that for the school buses. Sad!
Indeed my kids catch the bus and I see all the cars that just go despite the stop sign being out, I had one douche putting up a hand gesture like come on to another car that was waiting once. I Think a lot of people need to retake their license tests because, all the stuff they're doing is failing
@@dontlook3318 Get your phone out and record it all. Hold the phone horizontally, you get a bigger picture. Make sure you get license plates. If you don't know how to do that, at least write license plates down. Give it to the cops if you can trust them or a news outlet you can trust.
In my area, where it's illegal for a school bus to stop on a four-lane road, and where drivers only have to stop if they are within 30 feet of the school bus, I get honked at when I'm passing slowly when they should be mad at the bus driver for not making a proper stop. You'd still have to stop on a 4 lane road because each lane is only 12 feet meaning you would need at least three lanes between your car in the bus to not have to stop, but I seen this happen on 6 Lane roads with a concrete divider between them and those are the areas where I don't stop. It really bothers me when people honk for the wrong reasons. On the flip side, the school buses are usually rented out for tour events after school hours and they still use that stop sign. This one time I got stuck behind a stopped school bus for a good 15 minutes before I got out and noticed that it was loading and unloading adults and that for whatever stupid reason they engaged that stop sign anyway. Now that would be a situation where you should honk at someone who is stopped. The laws that say to stop for school buses explicitly say *when loading and unloading children " That also means, for example, that when a school bus stops at a railroad track to open the door and look before crossing you don't have to stop for the school bus even if there are children on the school bus because it's not loading or unloading children. Again, that's for my area.
I was 12 yrs old, crossing the road in front of my house to get on the bus. Almost got hit by a semi doing 60 mph. There was a State trooper and a sheriff's car behind the bus. The driver of the semi was ticketed, had his rig towed and arrested. 25 over the speed limit, failure to yield for a stopped school bus, no operators license for the rig, and 4 outstanding bench warrants. I stayed home the next 2 days, the first day because my pants were filled with more than my legs, the second because my Mom was shook to her core.
The lady that didn’t have a drivers license and had been cited twice before should’ve gone to jail!! Impounding her car only means she’s gonna drive another car and probably do the same thing!!
"I didn't see it", IT being a big yellow bus with flashing red lights and a stop sign sticking out the side? That should be a loss of licence and car impounded until you produce an optometrist report, then the fine should be doubled. If you can't see a big yellow bus, how can you see anything smaller or darker in colour?
I am still surprised that people say "I did not see the bus"! How can you NOT see a big, yellow bus! That is why they paint it that color, so it stands out! Some people should NOT be driving!
Some Prius drivers are left lane hogging elitist shitbuckets. Others are decent people who are cheap as two coats of paint. I respect cheap. I am cheap. Don't have much use for left lane hogging shitbuckets.
@@alexeiutgoff7955 If you're driving with like 3 mph you can stop for any child. In fact, the child will probably outrun you at that speed. We've got pretty safe roads over here so if we feel it's safe, it probably is.
These school bus stops are nuisances. School buses need a designated spot INSIDE of a parking lot instead of causing unnecessary traffic jams on busy streets.
It isn't a court date in my county (I live in Michigan but have connections to California as well) but it does carry a $250 or so fine and three points on your license. Get four of these in two years and you lose your license for (IIRC) 60 days (in California it takes 12 in three years to lose your license). Get five and it is even longer. There is a misdemeanor version of failure to yield to a school bus but I don't know of any cops pressing that charge, they write the civil infraction version that doesn't go on your criminal record (cops hate to go to court to testify and prosecuting attorneys don't want to waste their time on such a minor misdemeanor when they can prosecute murders and rapes).
The revenue from those tickets should go to installing an automated red light camera system on each bus. At $700/ticket it would pay for itself in one day.
Incorrect.Did you know you don't have to pay when caught on camera unless a cop comes to your home and give you ticket?They are a waste if you know your rights
@@jayekaye6641 all the community has to do is pony up the money for an officier to do an investigation and to write that ticket to whoever was driving. This is important enough to make the effort.
A "Divided Road" is a road with a physical barrier of some sort that prevents vehicles from casually crossing the median from one side to the other: A raised curb, a fence or wall, a wide grass strip, yes, but a center turn lane does not count as "divided".
Many people don't stop on a 4 lane undivided highway. Even though kids have to cross the road at many of these bus stops. I've seen kids be smart and have to wait for morons to go through before they could cross. Should be an immediate license suspension, either you're too stupid/blind to see the bus lights or you just don't give a shit about the rules. Guarentee you these aliens don't give a shit about the rules.
@amber lopez the road design is not the problem the problem is drivers who have no common sense if you don't want to pay traffic tickets don't break traffic laws or don't drive that's simple.
No she deserved the ticket. Per the law in my state, which probably has similar wording to yours: "You must stop for the entire time a school bus is stopped or preparing to stop with its red or amber lights flashing or its stop arm extended." It does not require the stop sign being out at all- and people intuitively know what the purpose of a bus slowing down with flashing lights or stopped with flashing lights is about to do.

@Stephen Sullivan stfu im not eve a drvier neither do i live i US. Where i live school bus dont get extra rules yet still nobody dies here... r/wooosh you fucking 40yo karen who thinks the world is dagerous
Ambulances also HAVE to stop even if the ambulance is traveling in Code 3 (lights and sirens). This is for the safety of the children. I'm glad to see people get caught for this one.
I completely agree. When the red lights are on and that flashing stop sign is out, your foot needs to be on the brake. Stopping for a stopped school bus is NOT optional.
My son was on his way to police academy when he has to stop for a school bus. The driver of the big pickup behind him didn’t want to stop but had to so he puts his truck behind my son’s small sports car, rolls down his window and starts cussing. My son rolled down his window and stuck his cap out so the guy could see CPD on it. Suddenly everything got real quiet.
Yea for California. And the Cops for giving out tickets. Children are too precious to lose to drivers who think their time is more important then our kids safety.
In some states the mere possession of a crack pipe is illegal. I can remember the look of horror on my mother's face when one of my much younger siblings came home with one sold with a tiny fake flower in it. My father didn't know anything about crack pipes so he didn't recognize it for what it actually was.
@@samanli-tw3id We call that careless driving in Michigan. It doesn't specifically state cell phone use while driving but the distracted driving clause certainly fits. It is a civil infraction with (IIRC) two points on the license.
I caught someone doing that once in my neighborhood. Called the cops, gave them my dashcam, cops were like “OH! We just cited that guy the other day for not stopping at a red light when turning right!” They caught him again, and asked for the video. I dropped it off in a flash drive :) I didn’t do this to punish the driver. I did it to keep people safe
@@wlonsdale1 Yeah, imagine blaming kids who've been run over and killed because ADULTS won't obey a long-established, well-known law. No wonder this country is in the toilet.
About not seeing the bus...I passed a bus with blinking lights years ago. It had been a horrible day and I was deep in a blue funk. I honestly didn't see the flashing lights..The bus driver followed me and pulled me over by flashing those red lights. When she told me what I'd done I couldn't believe it. I'm a school teacher, for pity sake. What I learned that day was I shouldn't drive unless I can be alert and drive defensively.
I know its ridiculous it should be $250 at most. $700 for 50%of Americans is what they make in 20 days at work. That would make most people homeless if hit with that ticket
You need to do some research! If it takes someone 20 days to earn 700 they are not driving as they can no afford the car! And most Americans make 500 dollars in a week or less.
I figured it was the younger generation doing this but I was proved wrong pretty sure they said that lady was born in 1961 and if that is true I know for damn sure she knows better!

As a bus driver myself, we see this all the time. But unless a cop actually SEES it, they won't write a ticket! We can give a vehicle description, license plate, time of day, etc.. doesn't matter
@CJ Jacob It all comes down to money. Even if we had a pic of the plate, there's no way you can get a verifiable pic of the driver. It'd ironic because the red light cameras at intersections take a pic of the plate, and those tickets stick. Even without an ID on the driver.

When I was a child a local guy found it neccesary to race his motorcycle down our street twice a day. My father knew the guy and asked him kindly to stop doing twice (sometimes even more) the speed limit which he rudely declined. My father took matters in his own hands posting for a little bit (since the asshole was very punctial and most of the time) with a large doll (about 3 feet tall) waiting behind a parked car. When the speeding motorcyclists roared past my father tossed the doll onto the street causing the rider to react and crash his bike violently. Then my father picked up the doll from the street and calmly walked into the house... 15 minutes later the police came and wanted to talk about some trash being trown onto the street causing a bad accident. Many neighboors came out and started talking to the police officers claiming the bike rider just lost control as he was doing most likely 3 times the speed limit. The police were forced to take a walk and the motorcycle rider (as far as I can remember) never returned to our street again...

America is a strange ritualistic country. The school bus is revered, painted yellow, has special laws applying to it. School shootings, on the other hand, occur all the time and are just as quickly forgotten about.
They also don't pull over to yield for ambulances anymore. And they don't stop at stop signs if they feel that oncoming traffic is far enough away. They just keep going and turn in front of you.
“I did not see the bus.”

I support 100% the fine of 700 for the violation of this infraction. So many children have been killed or seriously injured by drivers who do not abide by this law .
This is a good thing. I knew a little girl who was killed by this very thing way back in 1987. It launched her 75 feet through the air. I was just a kid but I met her mother years later. She never recovered from it. She was standing in the yard waiting for her. She watched the whole thing. I can not imagine the anguish of seeing that.
She not it.
I wonder how the driver survived the collision. Most Moms around here would have gouged out the driver's eyes and then hunted for their brain. Finding the brain of an idiot is a tough job, but Moms have a lot of motivation.
Lmao she went ragdoll mode 😂
@@AlCatSplat Why is that funny to you? Ask yourself that question.
Oh ragdoll haha that's good. I can just imagine it
I still remember the one truck driver that missed a 9year old girl by less than a foot going 25mph as she was getting on the bus, the man went home, took his license plate off and unhooked and removed the battery to pretend his car hasn't been on the road for a while, he got additional charges of tampering with evidence and obstruction for these actions
I see this daily at school. Parents double park, park in handicap, in bus zone.
Parents, set a better example
100% AGREED. It's almost as if parents think they are privileged because THEIR kid is a member of the school ....and nothing else matters.

Those are the same "people" who voted us into the mess
"I didn't see it."

My mother was a school bus driver for 27 years. When she was picking up students at the end of the day the principal drove through 11 sets of lights. A cop gave him a ticket for all of them and from what I was told court didn't give him a break. It was over 3 grand. (This was 30 years ago) not today's prices.
Only 3k for 11 violations is a break lol 😅

We had Karens in the old days too. We didn't call them "Karens", we called them "bitches".
@Faggot Rotten probably a couple of checks haha and love from insurance. Lol
When we got on the buses at the end of the day, they parked against the curb next to the sidewalk in front of the school and shut the engine off about 30 minutes before school was out. They didn’t turn on the flashing lights just for us to walk out the front door and get on. Traffic was free to move up and down the street passing multiple buses without any issues.

In my state you can't even get the license if you don't absolutely pass the school bus/zone parts of the test 100%
When I was in school in the 70s and 80s, the bus drivers would have the kids keep an eye out for drivers not stopping and get the plate numbers. And being a really small town it wasn't long before everyone knew who the offending drivers were.
Hope you teach your kids about it.

It doesn't have to be blue. They all drive like an idiot wrapped in a moron, blocking the left lane off by slow racing the pokey butt moron in the right lane, pulling out in front of people, and other worse things. I think it's absolutely hilarious when a diesel pickup rolls coal on them.
Absolutely love it
Why?
Prius owners, Corolla owners, matter of fact all toyota owners are the biggest problems on the roads, but prius owners are the dumbest people on the planet.
Immediate eye exam for anyone who says " I didn't see the bus" or anything like that.
I thought the same lol
@Goodest Cat that ending really got me lol 🤣
The lack of accountability is absolutely sickening
I worked on an Ambulance in Indianapolis for years and drivers ignore us too! Red lights and sirens and they will not pull over or yield the right of way to us. We could use 6-10 police cars on every run we make to issue citations! I can imagine it’s double that for the school buses. Sad!
Every time I've stopped, cars behind me have honked. People continuously fail to stop for school buses with stop signs out.
Same here. I've rolled my window down and deployed the middle finger once. Then they went speeding passed and no cop in sight.
I would STILL stop, as I'm supposed to do. Let them honk, & pass me. sooner or later they will be the one getting the ticket, not me!
Indeed my kids catch the bus and I see all the cars that just go despite the stop sign being out, I had one douche putting up a hand gesture like come on to another car that was waiting once. I Think a lot of people need to retake their license tests because, all the stuff they're doing is failing
@@dontlook3318 Get your phone out and record it all. Hold the phone horizontally, you get a bigger picture. Make sure you get license plates. If you don't know how to do that, at least write license plates down. Give it to the cops if you can trust them or a news outlet you can trust.
In my area, where it's illegal for a school bus to stop on a four-lane road, and where drivers only have to stop if they are within 30 feet of the school bus, I get honked at when I'm passing slowly when they should be mad at the bus driver for not making a proper stop.
You'd still have to stop on a 4 lane road because each lane is only 12 feet meaning you would need at least three lanes between your car in the bus to not have to stop, but I seen this happen on 6 Lane roads with a concrete divider between them and those are the areas where I don't stop.
It really bothers me when people honk for the wrong reasons.
On the flip side, the school buses are usually rented out for tour events after school hours and they still use that stop sign. This one time I got stuck behind a stopped school bus for a good 15 minutes before I got out and noticed that it was loading and unloading adults and that for whatever stupid reason they engaged that stop sign anyway. Now that would be a situation where you should honk at someone who is stopped. The laws that say to stop for school buses explicitly say *when loading and unloading children "
That also means, for example, that when a school bus stops at a railroad track to open the door and look before crossing you don't have to stop for the school bus even if there are children on the school bus because it's not loading or unloading children. Again, that's for my area.
I was 12 yrs old, crossing the road in front of my house to get on the bus. Almost got hit by a semi doing 60 mph. There was a State trooper and a sheriff's car behind the bus. The driver of the semi was ticketed, had his rig towed and arrested. 25 over the speed limit, failure to yield for a stopped school bus, no operators license for the rig, and 4 outstanding bench warrants. I stayed home the next 2 days, the first day because my pants were filled with more than my legs, the second because my Mom was shook to her core.

That should be a loss of licence and car impounded until you produce an optometrist report, then the fine should be doubled.

Giving tickets to school bus runners was one of my favoritr things to do.

In Germany, you can pass a bus with flashing lights - but only at walking speed. A law requiring you to fully stop seems unnecessary.
Kids cross the street. It's pretty necessary to stop.
@@alexeiutgoff7955 If you're driving with like 3 mph you can stop for any child. In fact, the child will probably outrun you at that speed. We've got pretty safe roads over here so if we feel it's safe, it probably is.
These school bus stops are nuisances. School buses need a designated spot INSIDE of a parking lot instead of causing unnecessary traffic jams on busy streets.
In Michigan, its an instant court date, 3 points plus fines.
It isn't a court date in my county (I live in Michigan but have connections to California as well) but it does carry a $250 or so fine and three points on your license. Get four of these in two years and you lose your license for (IIRC) 60 days (in California it takes 12 in three years to lose your license). Get five and it is even longer. There is a misdemeanor version of failure to yield to a school bus but I don't know of any cops pressing that charge, they write the civil infraction version that doesn't go on your criminal record (cops hate to go to court to testify and prosecuting attorneys don't want to waste their time on such a minor misdemeanor when they can prosecute murders and rapes).
in Quebec they take your license immediately for not stopping for a school bus
Just as they should.
Yeah if your child was runover by one of these pricks i would strangle one of them
no they don't... you lose 9 demerit points and get a ticket between 200$ and 300$
In Ontario $400.00 to $2,000.00 and 6 points. Caught a second time $1,000 to 4,000.00 and 6 points, also possible 6 months in jail.
Damn!😮
I never thought that traffic rights are equipped on the bus. Very intriguing.
Even as a bicyclist I hate children getting loaded/unloaded
The revenue from those tickets should go to installing an automated red light camera system on each bus. At $700/ticket it would pay for itself in one day.
Some busses have them. I'd be in full support of this I bet it would stop this crap from happening.
That's the way to making this stop. Make sure every last person gets a ticket every time they go past a bus with the lights on.

That prius wasn't fair, she was literally in the middle of a turn before the lights even came on.
No she deserved the ticket. Per the law in my state, which probably has similar wording to yours: "You must stop for the entire time a school bus is stopped or preparing to stop with its red or amber lights flashing or its stop arm extended." It does not require the stop sign being out at all- and people intuitively know what the purpose of a bus slowing down with flashing lights or stopped with flashing lights is about to do.
They need to do this in the bronx. People actually SPEED past the school bus angry that they're in the way
With their exploding mufflers and music blasting like typical lowlifes.

700 dollars ten years ago.. that’s an outrageous amount of money..
About not seeing the bus...I passed a bus with blinking lights years ago. It had been a horrible day and I was deep in a blue funk. I honestly didn't see the flashing lights..The bus driver followed me and pulled me over by flashing those red lights. When she told me what I'd done I couldn't believe it. I'm a school teacher, for pity sake. What I learned that day was I shouldn't drive unless I can be alert and drive defensively.
You let a bus pull you over?
Seven *HUNDRED* dollars!
I know its ridiculous it should be $250 at most. $700 for 50%of Americans is what they make in 20 days at work. That would make most people homeless if hit with that ticket
You need to do some research! If it takes someone 20 days to earn 700 they are not driving as they can no afford the car! And most Americans make 500 dollars in a week or less.
@@MightyBiffer 500 a week more like 2000 a week
Jarid, how much for a hospital deductible if you happen to hit a kid crossing the street when you should have stopped?
I bet at that price it sends a nice message to stop next time.
That woman should've stopped, but a school bus stop at an intersection is tough
I figured it was the younger generation doing this but I was proved wrong pretty sure they said that lady was born in 1961 and if that is true I know for damn sure she knows better!
Mark Overfelt , if you noticed all five that were pulled over were women, haven't you heard, DRIVES LIKE A WOMAN expression before, here is women drivers at their finest, she didn't like it when her fine was $700 and car was impounded for 30 days, and wow, you need a driver's license to actually drive on the roads, that's news to her, I mean a woman
She's a liberal dem what do you expect
Goes to show you shouldn't always blame a younger or older generation bud, both are capable of doing dumb shit.
@@jimthomas777 I drive for a living and I do see a lot of women doing so.e ignorant stuff while driving. My dad is a retired cop and I use to have a 1970 split bumper Camaro with over 600 HP and I can still hear him telling me driving is a privilege not a right and if anymore friends of mine on the force give me the copy of the ticket they gave you I'm gonna revoke your privlage myself now slow the hell down!! Lol
@@richardg1917 I don't understand what this has to do with politics.
As a bus driver myself, we see this all the time. But unless a cop actually SEES it, they won't write a ticket!
We can give a vehicle description, license plate, time of day, etc.. doesn't matter
@CJ Jacob It all comes down to money. Even if we had a pic of the plate, there's no way you can get a verifiable pic of the driver. It'd ironic because the red light cameras at intersections take a pic of the plate, and those tickets stick. Even without an ID on the driver.
I used to have a dashcam (my own) on my bus for such instances, but it died.
fwiw, we are a small school with about 25 buses. Cameras were over 3,000 per bus. That's 75 grand.
Didn't the bus co. start taking pics of cars passing them? Those drivers were caught & ticketed.
@@rickhibdon11 dude when was that? You can get state of the art dashcams at best buy for $150.
@@dingusdingus2152 These aren't dash cams. They are state of the art, interior devices. 4 cameras, all with sound, simultaneously recording directly to a hard drive
@@rickhibdon11 Now dashcams cost about $30. I have thought about buying one for my minivan.
They ALWAYS act confused and unable to understand in the Bay Area...
When I was a child a local guy found it neccesary to race his motorcycle down our street twice a day. My father knew the guy and asked him kindly to stop doing twice (sometimes even more) the speed limit which he rudely declined.
My father took matters in his own hands posting for a little bit (since the asshole was very punctial and most of the time) with a large doll (about 3 feet tall) waiting behind a parked car. When the speeding motorcyclists roared past my father tossed the doll onto the street causing the rider to react and crash his bike violently. Then my father picked up the doll from the street and calmly walked into the house...
15 minutes later the police came and wanted to talk about some trash being trown onto the street causing a bad accident. Many neighboors came out and started talking to the police officers claiming the bike rider just lost control as he was doing most likely 3 times the speed limit.
The police were forced to take a walk and the motorcycle rider (as far as I can remember) never returned to our street again...
$700 bucks!!! Nice
Should make it a $1000.00. No excuses. Didn't see the bus?, Guess you didn't see the poor kids you ran over either. 🤬
I wish it was a $1000000 ticket because if it was no one would pass a school bus and our kids would be safe while walking to the bus
Extremely expensive should be lower every thing is expensive nowadays
@@lesashiminski690 small price considering when you could run over a child at the stop
Well evidently 700 ain't enough. Let's raise it for the stupid people.
I remember when I was a kid a driver passed the bus on other lane, but the driver got them to stop and chewed them out.
stfu they and the kids are dumb. if you get ru over its your fault.... Just here to see how dumb america is why dont drive by with like 5kmh lmao idiot
@@user-tz1kw6rl6t Look how smart you are with those language skills...
America is a strange ritualistic country. The school bus is revered, painted yellow, has special laws applying to it. School shootings, on the other hand, occur all the time and are just as quickly forgotten about.
Once they say they didn't see it, they should immediately get another one for distracted driving.
They also don't pull over to yield for ambulances anymore. And they don't stop at stop signs if they feel that oncoming traffic is far enough away. They just keep going and turn in front of you.
Gots to vote early and vote often, don't they
