Usually when someone is doing an interview that involves a demonstration it’s a boss or supervisor who has never performed these tasks a day in their life and they bring someone else in to perform the demonstration, and the person being interviewed just gives a play by play. The fact that he’s actually PERFORMING the demonstration while doing the interview is very impressive.
A school bus driver in Texas is probably the most trained School Drive bus driver in the nation come on you guys hardly get any of the white stuff on the ground you're probably bearly get any conditions that would bring about ice either way you have more of a chance of is twisters and tumbleweeds but come on don't toote your own wistle that hard.
I'm very good driver which I'm extra careful especially with precious cargo, the kids. The people around me scare me the most here in Lubbock but I'm very observant which I've had people cut me off. Yes we are very well trained & I enjoy driving a school bus.
We are told to NEVER back up without a spotter and to use the amber alternating lights and horn. The first and last word in driving a school bus is SAFETY in any maneuver you have to do.
In my state it is illegal to use the alternating ambers anytime except when approaching a designated stop. Plus I have about 5 turn arounds on each of my routes, so having a spotter for me is pretty much out of the question lol
never swing your bus like that while backing up, the tailspin alone could cause problems, and never reverse at tracks unless cop, fire or r/r police tell you to do so. even then you're still at fault for any collisions.
@@youtubevlogproductions1567 all busses built after 2000 I believe must have back up alarms on them. Even so people will still have accidents with then on. They always claim they didn't hear the alarm. During the pretrip you're required to check the backup alarm. If it don't work you write up the bus and take another one.
I got to agree with you on that. I'm not a bus driver but If I was behind a bus that did that I would surely be worried and that alone would make me either back up myself or try to get out of the way and could cause an accident in itself.
I will put the training required of school bus drivers in Illinois against any in the country, and where Texas requires recertification every three years Illinois requires it every year.
i don't understand recertification for active drivers any more than i do registering the same car every year. in my experience, the 'classroom' consisted of a woman who drove a bus for maybe six months and pretends she's one of us, then we're tortured into listening to four days of inane bullshit, her personal stories, some political views thrown in, and there's a dumb test at the end. literally everything of any value could be done in one day in a couple of hours.
