For some people, lying is a natural as breathing. "I didn't see the bus."

[@kevinp8108]

If that Hispanic guy couldn't see a huge yellow bus then he shouldn't be driving!

[@critter2]

" i didn't see a bus" If you don't see big yellow or meidum size yellow bus with flashing lights YOU SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING

[@randallphillips5780]

it should be $1'000 for the first time $5'000 for the second.

[@stephe1329]

400, 600 dollar fines are nothing! Make it a 1,000 for the first time. More afterwards. If there is a third time make it a 3,000 fine and loss of their drivers license for 1 year. Better than hit a child with their car!

In California It’s $700 Citation And $300 In Texas

If someone gets pulled over for this and responds with "Didn't see the bus" Then that person should have their driver's license suspended until they can pass an eye exam issued by the DMV.

"I didn't see the bus" BULLSHIT. It's bright and yellow. That excuse is just...wow 😂😂😂😂😂

[@blowemall]

250-400 dollar ticket? Make it $10000 for the first offense and there will be no more violations.

[@kubotaman85]

How do you not see a big ass yellow school bus with red flashing lights? There is NO excuse for not stopping. It only takes 30 seconds for the stop. Is it really worth possibly running over a kid over 30 seconds of waiting time?

[@BooBerryrang]

”I didn’t see the bus”

[@NathanH83]

What about when the bus whips out its stop sign while you’re in the middle of passing by going the other way? Even if you slam on your brakes, you’re not going to be able to stop in time.

[@stevechapman3249]

i didnt c the bus,like r u blind

[@neelakenio9380]

Lol...its funny how they can't see a big yellow bus

[@daltonharmon5949]

I agree with that 100% take away their license and put them in jail because the don't respect our kids

[@brianb6924]

If you don't see the bus, ticket + 1 month suspension. If you see the bus and ignore it, ticket and 1 year suspension. Ignoring is worse.

[@trainman6556]

Forget fines, if you get caught blowing past a stopped bus your car should be impounded for at least a day.

[@sethb9545]

Excuses will not get you out of a fine but will make you look stupid

If you can't see a huge yellow school bus then you shouldn't be driving
