Sheron Windsor I still have to hold the same position on this, watch at 0:59 the bus wasn't even stopped yet and the sign comes out right when the cars front bumper is passing the buses, there is just no danger what so ever not to mention it's really not illegal since the stop sign wasn't out yet. It may well be against better judgement to not stop when you see the yellow flashing lights however the way they are ticketing in this video is just wrong and comes across as a form of entrapment.

[@thelasthallow]

95Turbo you are a fucking idiot right? you must be. because the yellow warning lights come on WAY before the bus stops to let people know to slow down and stop. if you dont slow down and just try to drive through the yellow warning lights you are a terrible driver and should not be on the road as you just put others in danger.

[@Poop-nu1so]

They should only hand out tickets to drivers who where a reasonable distance from the bus when the yellow lights came on. Not to drivers where the bus flung the door open, without first arming the amber lights for a reasonable distance to warn others of the bus stop. Usually I never have this problem around where I live, yet some people run through the red lights even after they were on for a minute! Don't wanna run over some kids!

[@cinderheartmeow6032]

I will admit this bus driver was a bit unpredictable because she stopped so quickly and barely gave distance for the drivers to stop, if the school system is in a large city i would honestly recommend the school have children’s bus stops arranged on or near crosswalks. In basics most people know to slow near a cross walk, it’s called stopping distance and most people will be able to slow at a cross walk ( where stopping is expected ) and will be less likely to run the bus lights. But if you paid attention in drivers ed you’d know that on most of these roads there is a ‘child at play’ or ‘bus’ sign that signals to drivers to be cautious with their driving and be ready to stop. Look for other videos on this topic and you’ll see that no matter how much stopping distance these people are given they will still run the sign, or in some cases they’ll even hit children.

[@richardsvideo7]

I don't know where you, rsx123 or you Kevin Buton, live but in the United states of American, in ALL states, ALL school buses are equipped with Amber lights that are directly aside the RED lights at the top of the bus. When a school bus is coming to a bus stop, the driver is to activate the AMBER lights PRIOR to the actual stop. So the bus gives all cars warning that it will be stopping soon. In New Jersey we are to activate the amber lights 300 feet prior to the actual bus stop. That is approximately 3 utility poles distance apart. Just like an amber light at an intersection. Depending on the rate of speed permitted on the roads that intersect at that light the amber light comes on and stays on for 3 to 5 seconds before the red light. I suggest you google for a little information on how the lights work on a school bus

[@MrSeniorAlex]

[@justinlynch3]

For those complaining about the stop sign coming out as cars are passing, let me give you a tip. Buses don't just have a stop sign, they also has yellow caution lights that start blinking about 10-15 seconds before the bus actually stops. A bus always stops before the sign comes out. I've never in my life seen a bus with the sign out before it stops. Fact in, the oncoming motorist should of already been slowing down due to the caution lights, KNOWING the stop sign is about to pop out at any second. Caution lights means the bus is slowing down and about to stop. Stop sign means stop, children are getting off.

[@davidcomstock2571]

Sometimes the driver will flash the yellow lights for a long time before the stop sign goes out. You never know when the sign will come out. A good school bus driver would be aware of the cars around them and not put the sign out one second before a car is passing the bus.

They shouldn't be ticketing for the yellow though but they treat the bus as if it were a traffic light.

Bus drivers are required to activate the yellow flashing lights on the bus at least 100 feet before stopping while in a 35 mph zone or less, and at least 300 feet when they are in a speed zone of 35 mph or more. One idea is to treat the yellow flashing lights on the bus as being red. In other words, plan on stopping if you can. If you are already going around or meeting the bus and the yellow flashing lights come on, then of course you would continue. If you are way back and the yellow lights start flashing, then plan to stop unless for some reason the situation dictates otherwise. Driving past or meeting a school bus transporting children can be a hazard, so again, slow down and be prepared to stop if needed. Remember that when you stop for a school bus stop arm and sign, you have to stop at least 20 feet away from the bus, and you can’t start moving your vehicle until the sign goes in and the red lights stop flashing. This information is for you Idiots that don't understand.

Also anyone claiming the drivers didn't have enough time to stop. Any bus I've seen requires the yellows to be activated, then the reds are activated by opening the door or pressing the button on the handle to open the door. There is no way to activate the reds without the yellows first.

Thomas Neumann The driver presses a button to activate the warning lights. The stop sign does not extend until the door is actually opened.

The stop arm is not tied to the door opening mechanism. The stop sign and lights are generally on before the bus comes to a stop and they open the door. The door opening has nothing to do with when you have to stop, when the stop sign is out and the lights are on, you stop.

[@DECTSwolf]

hzuiel You don't know school buses, apparently. Having been a passenger on a school bus not even two years ago, I know very well how they work. On some opening systems, especially that one, there is either a button to press to activate the warning lights, or a switch that is triggered by pulling the handle. The stop arm is activated once the (second) switch is triggered, by opening the door, even slightly. On that type of door system, that's exactly how it works. She has to press a button, then open the door to activate the stop arm. That will also activate, even when you're doing 60mph down the interstate.

[@DECTSwolf]

Yes, you are correct. However, bus drivers should also be courteous enough to not activate stop arm when you are mere feet from the front bumper. Any good bus driver will allow traffic to pass before activating the stop arm. I very much agree with those claiming that this is entrapment. With one or two vehicles within a short distance, the driver can wait five seconds for the vehicles to pass before the kids are even let off the bus.

[@thelasthallow]

Silent Paw you are an idiot. this is not entrapment. when the lights start flashing yellow you dont just speed through like a yellow light on a road. you fucking stop. there are kids on board so any excuse is bullshit. YOU STOP and that is that.

[@rhilton1881]

Silent Paw Sorry, Paw, but those lights mean something and drivers are given ample time to slow down and stop. The bus drivers have enough to do and more important things to think about to safely transport their precious cargo, our kids. Considering the traffic behind them to pass before activating the stop signs is a noble idea, but I don't want them to have to do that. If you're behind a school bus, be prepared to stop! Entrapment? Of course not!

[@DECTSwolf]

thelasthallow Again, stop swearing, you might get somewhere. If drivers can stop safely, they should. That's all there is.

[@DECTSwolf]

Rick Hilton You're absolutely right, in the thought that drivers should be more courteous to buses. You mentioned that allowing traffic behind to pass is a good idea. I don't care about traffic behind, they stop when the bus does. In Ontario, where my knowledge is coming from, as long as that stop arm has not extended, you are not /required/ to stop, if in oncoming lane. [Buses have signage on the back, 'Do Not Pass When Signals Flashing'] Bus drivers take advantage of that fact and stop with the warning lights on, before opening the door, letting the kids off, and allowing the stop arm to extend. This allows fast travelling, oncoming traffic to clear, without them having to slam on the brakes and cause a three car pileup. In this video, I observed the bus driver opening the door, at times, before the vehicle even stopped fully. We need to understand that while yes, kids are on the bus, they are not let off, until it is safe for them to do so. Or, so is the idea. That door is the last line of defence, so to speak. If the driver waits for approaching traffic to stop fully, with the door just slightly open, the stop arm extended, but the door not open far enough for kids to get through (This is not difficult with older models,) then there is very little risk of injury or death. In a perfect world, with ideal conditions, what you say about drivers being given enough time to slow and stop, that would be true. Unfortunately, all lights and bus functions are at the control of the bus driver, and each driver may have different timing, or may not give enough advanced warning for other vehicles. When I suggest that this video shows entrapment, I cannot see the ambers flashing, and thus do not know when they are activated. All I can see is the door being thrown open to extend the stop arm, with another vehicle a very short distance from the front of the bus. Around here, if a driver was faced with that situation, a vehicle approaching, most drivers would not activate the stop arm, until after that first vehicle had gone, as it was too close to stop safely.. Once the second vehicle clearly begins slowing, then the driver would activate the stop arm. Yes, the first driver should have slowed when they saw the warning lights, but, for whatever reason, perhaps they did not see, coming around a curve. Drivers should be attentive, yes. But, it sometimes happens. We don't live in a perfect world. I wish we did, though. It would solve a lot of problems.

[@jjdiascro]

The stop arm is tied in to the red lights and the door. When the door handle is popped the circuit activates the red lights and the stop arm, regardless of how far the door is open. Some buses have a lever with a hole which fits over a "bolt" on top of the handle. When the lever is flipped up and the handle pops out from the locked position, the yellow lights shut off and the reds kick on and at the same time the stop arm extends.

@@MrBates-oi9md that not an excuse to illegally pass a stop school bus the yellow lights come on 200 ft before the stop which gives you plenty of time to stop and flashing red lights means stop if you can't learn to follow school bus stop sign laws then you shouldn't be driving.

[@ChristakyMe]

When flashing yellow lights appear on a school bus you treat them as a solid yellow light as you would on a traffic light. Are you surprised when the light turns red at an intersection? No you expect it and slow down to prepare for a stop. This applies with school buses.

[@jennagentles1836]

haha. Finally some one with some sense. I can't believe all these people bitching, acting like they have never seen a school bus before. Every bus I have seen you must activate the yellows before the reds will activate. It is impossible to activate the reds without the yellows as a warning.

[@professorhineschoice]

I'm in Atlanta, GA and our school buses here actually can activate the reds without the yellows. Some forget to turn on the caution lights and they'll open the doors and notice that the stop arm isn't out and then his the button which automatically brings out the reds without the yellow's. The newer buses they have now are better at alerts so drivers can tell clearly if their lights aren't on or if they are.

[@bradenrobison1969]

At 1:00 when that black car passed the bus, it looks to me like the driver was really close to the bus before it made a complete stop and I think the driver thought she would let him/her pass before she activated the red lights. On a side note to bus drivers: If there are cars that are really close to you before you make a complete stop, try to give them a bit of time to pass before you activate the red lights just so you don't take them by surprise and they end up stopping really close to the bus and block the path for children that have to cross the street.

[@StayFit2013]

You guys need to retake your drivers test. When the caution lights are out you suppose to slow down to a complete stop not keep driving. Same thing for intersections but people are not cautious or care to do that. Everyone is caught up in their little world and ignorant of their surroundings. Note: buses turn on their caution lights (yellow), don't go by the red lights. Don't be like, "oh I don't see the STOP sign, I'm going to keep going", don't be ignorant just slow down to a complete stop idiots.

[@downtroddendave860]

+KakarotAkaGoku OR more States need to do what they did in Michigan... you must stop for the caution lights, no need to wait for the red lights or the stop sign etc. As soon as the lights come on, you should stop if safe to do so, obviously no need if you are already within a couple car lengths (~15 feet).

[@1LibMrDucks]

2:44 Thank You for stopping that person. Just because she's a School Bus Driver don't mean she's going to get off that easy even while in her POV.

[@DarknessLPs]

The whole "stop for buses" law (not sure the proper name) is completely idiotic, we don't have to do that for public buses and school buses should be no different. If a child needs to cross the street, they need to do so at a cross walk where it is designated, not right where the bus drops them off. This is one of the many reasons why people in america are becoming sheep. When I was a kid (I'm 24 now) if I ran into the street and got hit by a car, guess who's fault it was. MINE! You know why? I'll tell you, it's because I was the stupid kid who ran into the road in front of a car instead of looking both ways and crossing at the proper place. If we would just go back to people looking out for themselves we would be a whole lot better off. We'd go back to the intelligent surviving and the stupid dying which would make our generations a lot more intelligent as time goes on. As it is now, we are keeping people alive who are at most a detriment to future society.

[@GrammarNazi0000]

100% agreed. I feel like our current "education system" is actually dumbing us down in the long run, and you gave a perfect example of why. This is the reason people expect so much out of the government and depend on welfare programs, instead of supporting themselves. (Excluding the elderly and disabled which I understand they depend on some program of support). But if you're completely able to get off your lazy ass and get a job, you're independent enough to support yourself. This is the problem with current day Americans. They see all the benefits they can get by making excuses and not having to put forth any effort.

[@timoshi119]

In rural areas or counties thag don't offer cross walks like back roads and little 2 lane roads where sidewalks don't exist and public transportation is not an option your argument is invalidated and idiotic.

[@FeelingsToontown]

Let's Plays Public buses have mostly 16+ where people actually know this. Anyone from 3-18 can be on a school bus so I doubt a 4 year old in this age is that smart.

[@sydneyp3357]

+Let's Plays Public buses usually have more adult passengers than children. People who KNOW right off to look both ways before crossing.School buses have mostly children who may NOT know to look both ways. Don't make assumptions like that. And you know, there aren't crosswalks everywhere. Where I live, there are NONE. So while I think you had the right idea, it isn't fool proof. You gotta remember we're talking about young children here, people who don't have the same common sense as you do. They're still learning.

[@DarknessLPs]

Sydney P Perhaps, but if they are so young that they do not have the ability to cross the street properly or are not intelligent enough to do so for some reason, they should have an adult accompany them. If crosswalks are not available, there are implied crosswalks at every 4 way stop. Also, buses carrying students should ALWAYS stop in traffic minimal areas or in designated bus stop areas (in larger cities with public transit). I believe that there are laws governing where a bus can and cannot stop as well which many school bus drivers do not obey simply because they know that an officer will not stop them for such an "oversight" of the law.

[@Hawqis1]

One of our buses that I drove was great during the pre-trip inspection, but when I went to drop off kids, I opened the doors and the yellows remained on. The lever switch got stuck and I had to poke at it and it worked normally. Cars did pass, but since the yellows were on, no violation of the law.

[@tmwizkid]

These vehicles weren't even slowing down when the ambers are activated, and just trying to beat the bus.

[@unr3alGaming]

That would be like saying if a police officer saw someone get murdered but lost the suspect during a chase, another officer can't arrest him because he didn't see it. A police officer is a police officer.

[@freespeachrulez]

All school buses flash yellow lights when coming to a stop indicating to the oncoming driver to slow down, then they flash red a good few seconds before they actually come to a stop again telling the driver to stop and giving them time to do so, then the sign goes out. You will learn this in drivers training when you are old enough.

[@zomski101]

So when the yellow lights on the bus starts flashing you're suppose to stop, or when the stop sign goes out?

[@Error_404_Page-Not_Found]

[@johnhelton9195]

growing up i was almost run over many times getting off the bus. i always looked both ways and was always cautious. people get arrogent and complaicent and with the dwindling number of police able to enforce every law this puts them in check. this is a good way to make an example and put ppl on alert.

[@Bcr3106]

There are usually yellow flashing lights that indicate the bus is about to stop, so yes, they do expect people to stop in time.....

[@KenmareVintageVehicles]

The amber warning lights activated 200 feet prior to the stop is ample warning. That warns the motorists that the red lights will be activated immediately upon the bus stopping. The motorists need to start slowing down when they see the ambers in anticipation that the bus will be stopping and the reds activated. You, as a school bus driver should know this. The red lights on top of the bus are already flashing even if the stop arm is still in the process of deploying.

[@Stoviecakes]

No need to resort to petty name calling in an attempt to get your point across. If you disagree with my interpretation of the video you can clearly state your ideas without insulting a complete stranger. Good luck.

[@CaptainBlueSmoke]

As a Certified school bus driving instructor, this driver probably was never taught the skill of the pause before opening the door. In Illinois, drivers are taught to check all mirrors & traffic to make sure people are stopping before activating the red light system, thus giving drivers the chance to recognize what is happening with the bus. This bus driver just pops the reds on without pause, she's going to cause a pile up one day!

In order for those cars to stop in time, they would have had to slam the brakes and skid in the roadway, creating another hazard. He told that one guy "stop a little earlier, okay?" With the forward acceleration of his car, I hardly believe he would be able to decelerate and come to a complete stop safely. That one was a little messed up.

Ok, people. School Buses have TWO sets of lights, Yellow, and Red. When the Yellow are flashing, that means the bus is coming to a stop, and you need to SLOW DOWN and PREPARE to STOP, just like when a traffic light turns yellow. None of these cars were slowing down at all... Doesn't matter if the bus didn't stop yet, a kid could have started crossing the road from the other side of the street to get on the bus...

I absolutely agree with you on this! The bus driver and their timing looks like a result of a serious accident awaiting to happen.

[@DD-1996]

You think they’d even try if someone was go through a yellow traffic signal before it turned red?

[@SUFI194189]

Buses have a caution light genius. A flash yellow light, means to slow down. They turn them on way before they stop. Its the same principle as a stop light at an intersection.

[@davidcomstock2571]

When I was a school bus driver I wouldn't put the sign out if there were a lot of cars close to me or about to pass me. I'd wait a few seconds so that cars don't have to slam on their brakes to stop short. Obviously the bus driver in this video doesn't do that. At 0:58 you can see the driver puts her stop sign out just as the black car is passing the bus. This isn't right.

[@SUFI194189]

Technically doesnt mean to hurry and blow through it. Thats what people judge it as. Yellow just means, its bout to turn red and if you have the time to stop, then stop, if you dont, then go through it. Once a bus comes to a stop the red light comes on. You should be well prepared to stop before it stops. Same goes with the stop light, you dont stop right as it turns red, you get prepared to stop before it turns red.

[@pyrokinetic666]

I live in New Zealand so I'm not quite sure how this works, I know you have to stop when the bus is stopped letting kids on or off, but some of the cars had already passed before the bus came to a complete stop. Does the sign come out BEFORE the bus actually comes to a complete stop or after? If it's before then I totally understand, but if the sign doesn't come out til AFTER the bus has stopped then I kinda understand why some people drive right through.

[@mikeferrellmusic]

[@easyb26]

Two competing tests exist for determining whether entrapment has taken place, known as the "subjective" and "objective" tests. The "subjective" test looks at the defendant's state of mind; entrapment can be claimed if the defendant had no "predisposition" to commit the crime. The "objective" test looks instead at the government's conduct; entrapment occurs when the actions of government officers would have caused a normally law-abiding person to commit a crime.

[@EvanLevow]

Agreed, that drivers should stop for school buses that are picking up and dropping off children. That said, there was at least one instance when the vehicle was already alongside the bus and the driver extended the arm.

[@michaelmapes3036]

As a former PA State Trooper, this is whats called entrapment and snatch. At which these State Troopers are commiting a fraud to the system at which they are suppose to protect.. So in my personal opinon, all the drivers who were caught running past the school bus should contact lawyers and have the tickets thrown out, because the only one who can issue the tickets is the officer who observed the offense which were on the bus, not in the patrol cars.

[@UberDAHnooB]

Yes, but those hazard lights are not just for letting kids off a bus(even if it was more likely) That would cause more confusion for instance if the bus was breaking down and simply pulling off to the side with no plans to pick up or drop off anyone. What NEEDS to be done is actual "bus stops" to be built like we have for public transportation. That would be much safer and people would know exactly what is going on.

[@ThatBlueMoon18]
