: : : Is it just me or do school bus drivers drive like total idiots?
: : Yep with a bus load of kids. There bigger than you and you better move. Maybe another drug employee.
: I'm so glad that other people have noticed this, and I'm not the only one! It is especially bad on back roads. I have nearly been "run-off" the road more than a few times! It's terrible and dangerous!
I talked to a school district employee and he wondered if other drivers treat bus drivers like they themselves would like to be treated.
Continuing on, the bus drivers can have up to 72 local kids on the bus and it looks bad on their record if they drive into a gully or off a cliff to miss a small-car-driving idiot. For any bus drivers who might read this, how about slowing down on narrow roads so small cars can maneuver around you safely... that would be better for everyone.
Back to the Board's general audience, do we want 'jerks' driving our kids around? NO!
So, if and when you see irresponsible driving, it makes sense to get the bus company name (and bus number) and report it. Where, when, and what happened.
ASD's main phone number is 724-763-5269.
