Raleigh mom taking photos of cars not stopping for school buses

[@TheHandyTek]

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!

[@MidnightMadness123-y3g]

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.

[@wolverinefangowings]

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.

[@SirFloofy001]

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.

[@Superman37891]

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)

[@insanityraging6832]

Have the bus driver block both lanes. This should be done everywhere.

[@TomSidProductions]

If you throw an egg at a car and it hits the windshield. You could actually blind that driver and he WILL hit somebody.

[@missjddrage1111]

Even if she didn't hit the car with an egg.. it is still equally possible for someone to get hit.

[@jennifercload9390]

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.

[@meahdahlgren6537]

​@Keaton0801 I don't believe every jury would let her off for throwing eggs at cars just because "they deserved it". Maybe a small portion, but not all. I doubt that crime would even involve a jury anyways. Would probably just be a judge who decides.

[@krystiankowalski7335]

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?

[@jcraigshelton]

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.

[@thomasschwarting5108]

GREAT IDEA!!

[@meahdahlgren6537]

Right

[@89five3five]

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

[@richardbrooks6464]

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.

[@kylebailey2094]

I'd be real careful about throwing things at peoples cars in general. They may come back around and start shooting at you.

[@litchar]

Not smart to take an egg to a gun fight,

[@MF-ty2zn1]

She needs to get on city council to get it done.

[@lonokolotowicz5597]

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.

[@absolutesrunner]

Update on this issue please🙏🏽

[@richareno233]

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.

[@insanityraging6832]

Have the Bus driver block both lanes. Or have volunteer escort drivers who will block the other lane.

[@thomasschwarting5108]

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!!

[@GLA741]

[@WycliffStudios]

[@randywoodworth5990]

Jeez people, it's not going to kill you to wait a minute or two for the kids to get off the bus.

[@patrickrichmond9896]

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.

[@nutmeg208]

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).

[@rockyv180]

Poor choice. Throw an egg and get arrested for property damage, or worse, distract the driver who then hits the kids and others.

[@johnnycash578]

THAT STREET NEEDS TO BE REDUCED WOW THOSE CARS WERE FLYING

[@Servergmr]

"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.

[@itsallovernowWD1945]

Throwing eggs they can press vandalism charges on you so you need a lawyer

[@MobileTaz]

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.

[@nunyabusiness1406]

Your tire thumper is no match at all to a gun. Nothing about throwing eggs makes the situation any better😆

[@Milesco]

@ Mobile Taz: So you're advocating attempted murder???

[@MobileTaz]

@@Milesco Castle doctrine - defense of others against imminent peril. Running a school bus stop sign is attempted murder. Fuck off, snowflake.

[@sldj15]

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?

[@MobileTaz]

@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.

[@andymott121]

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!

[@Iwillpeerintotheeyesofyoursoul]

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.

[@litchar]

Don't you think the drivers should be persuaded not to run over the child in the first place?

[@snowdogthewolf]

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.

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.

[@jonathanmorrison9134]

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.

[@litchar]

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?
