@@ozzyoscar6786 yeah, the person I was relying to deleted their comment. They said: “Doctors:” trying to make a smart response by saying doctors get paid a lot and are also heroic and hard working. Then I said “Often”: so I could point out that the original comment said often which doesn’t mean always.
I actually find it really satisfying that not only did she save the kids life, but she also honked at the car too. That jerk deserved it after speeding past like that.
Wait a minute, I thought school buses have stop signs on them. When a school bus stops the stop sign shows. Cars don’t stop for a school bus stop sign anymore? I thought it was the law.
@@ahmedshahab4105teachers in Oregon and Washington earn more than the average person in those states. Most positions over 70k a year. Unfortunately the internet won't tell you this. Internet says just under 40k. But they are making usually 40 bucks an hour at least. Obviously many of them have degrees and that raises pay. But they should have degrees to teach our future generation. But a bus driver earns only around 30k. And still have to deal with a lot of crap. Those are who need a raise.
For dropping a kid off far from the side walk where traffic is between the bus & kids… 😂 no I don’t think so…. She is top 10 worst bus drivers. Be honest would u let her drive ur kid’s? They wouldn’t be in tht situation if she didn’t stop dangerously.
@@IllphellaI had bus drivers when I was a kid stop in the lane like that all the time despite there being a shoulder there was no curb there was a shouler and a grassy 3 foot deep ditch or a giant snow bank that had been sitting all winter. They did that to physically block traffic behind them so only oncoming traffic was was the issue. This driver is allot more observant than the bus drivers we ever had growing up since she used her rear view mirror before the kid got off the bus.
In the UK cars can pass school buses when they stop. We have natural selection for children that backwards. Did you notice he didn't look even though 3 seconds before he almost died because he didn't look forst. 🤦
I seriously don't understand drivers like this. Like, where do you need to be so urgently to justify nearly killing someone? That bus driver deserves a raise for saving that kid's life
@@pj2jGz354XTReABThe comment was completely clear, but I’ll break it down even further: A car drove past the school bus despite the sign telling cars to stop while children disembark. The OP is saying that almost nothing justifies running over kids. Stop when the bus stops.
@@Vent_YTI mean considering the distance the car was from the bus he would have probably just barely missed the car and have been fine if she hadn't intervened
It's also why bus drivers don't and shouldn't drop you off outside of designated bus stops. It doesn't matter if the traffic appears gridlocked or you missed your stop. They'd be held accountable if something bad happened.
This is how you earn respect from a kid. Granted, I know this a rare occasion, but things like this SHOW these kids that they can trust/listen to you. You show kindness and care, and respect for these kids.
@@MZRFaith You lack education and proper manners... Obviously. Your mother failed you. Saying "thank you" has nothing to do with being in a different world (or whatever...). Thank you is a short two-words that can be translated in every single language.
@@ctaccv9653kid almost got hit by a car and you’re thinking about how he didnt say “thank you?” your attitude is more disrespectful than his lack of manners
I just wanna thank you for saving this. Young boy's life, but with that being said, I wanna. Thank you, and all the bus drivers around the nation. You all have a huge job taking care of our most loved cargo. And I greatly appreciate you.
@@virtualreality512they don't choose the stops idiot, that's the school that chooses where the stops go, or the transportation system, the drivers itself don't.
I had the same bus driver for every year of school and she was the best. I will remember her for as long as I live. It's a thankless job, but I made sure she knew I was thankful.
Well done for letting her know. When you're a kid, it's easy to forget the "supporting staff" surrounding you. I remember when I was like 11, I occasionally had some short, friendly chats with an elderly cleaning lady at school (no idea how it started, as I was generally a pretty bratty, self-centered kid). A few years later, when she retired, she gave me a card, a small gift and gave me a hug. I had no idea how much those small interactions meant to her. It wasn't until I became an adult with a job that I fully realised the importance of getting recognized, not only for the job you do, but also for the human being you are behind the job.
I remember being the only kid who would say thank you every day for when we got off at my stop in hs, I tried being really nice because I had terrible drivers all throughout mid and elementary and appreciated when they didn’t hit speed bumps doing like 35+ and yell at us for screaming. One I had, the man told all us like ~10 year olds that the bus wont work because we’re too loud, let us off on the side of the road outside a plaza and drove off after a couple minutes. We had a diff driver and bus number every week after that.
when i was in kindergarten my bus number had changed but i didnt know so i got on the old one, i wasn’t the only one some other kids were also lost, the bus driver drove us all to the apartments (even though it was completely out of her route) made sure we all knew our new bus number met the new driver and waited till our parents got us, bus drivers deserve so much more
i used to have this bus driver where the kids ended up getting so chaotic, the bus driver assigned seats and made everyone stay quiet and in their seats. no one ever listened, to be honest so she gave up. this was in elementary and ill admit, i didnt listen to the staying in the assigned seats. i thought it was stupid since we never had assigned seats before. all i ever did was go straight toward my friend in the back of the bus and we would pull out our stuffed animals and would play with thoses till either we got to school, or one of us had to go. i wouldve been able ti stay in touch with her, had i not mover a good 20-30 minutes away from where i once lived. i miss playing with you, Rowan, and i still remember how to spell your name correctly! i remember how when you asked me how it was spelt, you said i was the first person to get it right the first time. do you remember Ms. Myers from Target class? where we learned how to play chess, how to write hyroglyphics, how to do a bit of algerba? what about Abby? or Emory? what about Gavin and Mariana? i remember how me and Emory started "creeper club" because we both loved minecraft. do you remember Slush, Rowan? he used to be so bold. now hes scared more often, maybe because i accidentally left him in the corner of my room for a year! hah! i remember how your house had a pool in your back yard. i remember how right before your stop in the mornings, i would awe at your neighbor's christmas decoations on their yard. i miss those days. i hope i can see you again some day, Rowan.
It happened in a matter of seconds. We have hindsight and know what's gonna happened before we watched, so it's easy to say that from here. But in the moment, when he's done this everyday 5 days a week all year, it's easy to space out. Luckily the bus driver wasn't.
@@wolfieyt502We have a pair of identical twins at my school with the last name Golden, so teachers call them the Golden girls. They've been called that since elementary school lol
My bus driver once called my name to give me a whole box of chocolates bc i was one of the quiet and good kids (most kids that sat at the back keeps starting fights) I usually just go on the bus, pick one of the front seats, go to sleep and try not to interfere with the back fights. The bus driver didn’t even care, she was just doing her job. The thing that shocked me the most is that she called my name correctly on first try. I’ve NEVER met anybody that does that. Plus, my name is extremely uncommon and most people makes fun of my name. I can tell that’s one good busdriver
Kinda related but I remember my bus driver as a kid got quite annoyed at the feet in the aisle thing. He then purposed a competition in which he would buy us pizza if we didn’t do it anymore. We obliged for a few days, no pizza. Eventually I assumed he was just lying to get us to do the aisle thing. However little did I know one day I would just see a stack of pizzas at the front of the bus. He did follow through on that promise and he got in trouble for it but said it was worth it. Coolest bus driver I have ever met. We didn’t do the feet in the aisle thing anymore even after the pizza promise was gone.
@@user-s8gma48zzl34 What? It's literally illegal everywhere. You need to look at laws. Stopped, red lights flashing, illegal to pass. 100%. You can't debate this, it is a solid fact.

I always say that school bus drivers are unsung heroes. They get our children to and from school safely everyday and get no credit. Much love to all the school bus drivers out there!!!
@@IH8Pride was always nice to my bus drivers too, but I know for a fact that that job is not easy. So many other kids would curse them out, disrespect them, and/or flat-out ignore them. Maybe it was different for you, and that’s what I hope for, but usually bus drivers have it rough. (Not to mention, the pay is less than stellar…)
@@nutritionalCheeto so true. I had one in the seventh grade who was normally nice and would turn the radio on for us but one time she wouldn't let me on the bus because I had a skateboard!?! I had to mow lawns for a month after that because I decided the best thing to do was to bust out all the lights with said skateboard. Play now, pay later I guess. Definitely not one of my finer moments. Seems I had a lot of those....
my current highschool bus driver is such an angel. on holidays she gives people gift bags or if its your birthday you get a special gift bag. love her sm❤
My son's bus driver at he previous school (she's still a bus driver), gives all the kids gift bags EVERY holiday. Valentine's, Easter, Last day of school, Halloween, Christmas, etc. And at Christmas, she decorates a long trailer (like for hay rides), hooks to a truck, has someone else drive while she sits in the trailer & goes around all her bus route neighborhoods and her kids houses to give out gifts to all the kids, even ones that don't ride her bus.
Not only did she save his life but probably saved everyone from being traumatized Edit: Ok I know the car probably wouldn't have hit the kid but I feel like the kids would have been scared like I know I would be scared
@@Atlas_R2363no it was time for him to get off the bus but he rushed trying to get off the bus and the stop sign was up but the person driving the. Car Ignored it almost causing the kid to get hurt
She's the one that opened the door. I would think the bare minimum expectation for a bus driver is to not let the kids off of the bus in the middle of traffic.
@@steveballzack1409 cars are required to stop when a school bus is stopped w/ its red lights flashing. That guy would be getting a hefty fine in Ontario.
Its like tipping restraunt employees. Its just saying please dont spit in my food next time. Like how thanking your bus driver is dont drive off a bridge
If i was the kid I would've been so angry at the bus driver like I could have seen the car myself. In addition, the bus driver literally touched the child, which is definitely not ok.
when i would ride the bus to school in elementary/middle i said thank you everyday as i was getting off to go home. only one other kid would do that and their parents and mine were close friends.
Simply no, to the asshole bussdriver wij did'nt wanne close the door when the door was litteraly on my foot, someone pushed me to the part where the door goes, and i got a (dont know the exact word) not broken but severly hurt foot.😊, the others will get a thanks.
i’ll never forget my bus driver in elementary school, Jared. was such a kind man and loved making us laugh in the mornings when we were all half asleep. he passed away a few years ago of a heart attack, but his son is best friends with my little brother so a bit of him still lives on! now it’s my senior year, and i’ll never forget our conversations and jokes, even if they were years ago and i was 10. 😂 Rest in Peace Jared ❤ edit: thank you to everyone who has given their condolences, it’s nice to know even complete strangers on the internet care ❤️
This Bus Driver DEFINITELY SAVED THIS CHILDS LIFE. Thank You Kind, Attentive, Responsible, Caring, Respectful Person Whom Takes The Position You’re Doing Everyday Too Heart. There are So Many People, For Which I Know Personally, that Hold, or have Held the Position of being a BUS DRIVER, and Wouldn’t have paid any attention whatsoever too That Child. In Fact would’ve Thought, Their Safety was NOT Their Concern, as Utterly Reckless, Ignorant, and Incompetent that, it sounds. Too See How On Point This Bus Driver Is, Given The Way So Many People Behave in Society Today, This Is REFRESHING😅 I Wish Every Bus Driver Would Be Like This One. Phenomenal job. God Bless You. You are INCREDIBLE. 🙏🏽 ♥️ 🙌
What bus let's off a kid in the middle of a road? Shouldn't it be by the sidewalk? Also it seems like only 3 seconds from the point of stop to opening the door, I dunno if this was the save it should have been. Thoughts? Not sure how it is in the states, but I know in Canada, they don't let kids off on the street, it's the sidewalk.
Its not the cars fault, your supposed to stop when the bus puts out its stop sign, but if you look in the video t tells you when its put out, and it was only like 0.2s before the car passed by which means the other car probably didnt have enough time to react. I would have to say its more likely the kids fault for being impatient.
@@WhereAmITheBook thats almost as good as saying the guy who jumped off the roof died, not because its his fault is cuz gravity exist. The kid should be taught to look out for cars, its one of the most basic things to learn when crossing the street. Obviously its not the kids fault but their parent and guardians around them failing to educate on safety, as well as the fact that the kid was already out of his seat while bus was still in motion. Also from what I learned in driving is that regardless what other do its always necssaary to pay attention to what you do could possible endanger you. You can't stop someone from speeding 100 mphs down the road but you could always stop yourself from being in their way as they do stupid things like that.
@@SoupTurtle16 I don't know how buses might function in other countries, but at least here in Canada, when the bus slows down before a stop, a stop sign comes out and lights flash, all before the bus is even stopped. Unless the video was mirrored or anything (or I'm just wrong), it looks like you drive on the left side of the road, so it's definitely not North America, so things might be different. Edit: I just carefully rewatched it and the car is going forwards with the bus, so its not left side driving, but its kinda weird how there's a gap in between the bus and the stop. Normally it should be on the side of the road, but its not for some reason here.
@@EmeraldPencil46 I understand what your talking about but if you look in the video it tells you exactly what actions are done by the driver. And you look at the top left and the video the car drove by 0.2 seconds after the stop sign was released. So the bus driver did not release the stop sign before the bus even came to a full stop. Notice the "Stop Arm" term on the top left of the video. Yeah that big gap is also very weird, making it seem like the bus was om the left lane. But in amother comment a person pointed out that it was probably the shoulder of the road, which mean the driver just decided to speed pass on a shoulder, which was unthinkable to me. So I'm probably wrong for giving the driver benefit of the doubt.
This actually happened to me once, I was getting off my bus in high school when my bus driver shouted at my to stop when I was walking in the street and by the time I could look back at her a car came flying by me. I thanked her profusely for being so vigilant and potentially saving my life
People are way too calm when driving. It’s like they forget they could end multiple lives every time they’re behind the wheel and walk away with mild injuries
@@deannad9105 I’m so sorry I didn’t hear her saying his name and I wrote that comment when I was tired I just took a nap I didn’t wanna sound rude but yeah you are right not a lot of bus drivers know the kids names now
I gotta point this out, do bus drivers pull off to the sidewalk to drop kids off? Cuz it looks like it was in the middle of the road. I can see the street right outside the door.
@@xythrr Really? I'm trying to figure out, how. Maybe there aren't sidewalks? But even still, I think the bus should be by the curb or the furthest line to the right of the door.
We thank you bus drivers of america. For your service to our communities. For keeping our children safe. For being on the ball when the ball has the possibilty of going flat. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I held up traffic to go teach her the right way. F the traffic. Car in this video...$50 fine in some states. No one loses license. Max fine?... Maybe $300? One yr I drove. Only one flew by.
My mom always made it a habit for me to give any bus driver I had (through elementary to high school) a thank you card with either some money or a treat. They, among many others, are always under appreciated despite all the work they do
I used to appreciate them until they kept doing bus roit so often that made me missed school. I was on my exam period that determind my whole grade for second year. Also itlast through all weekday. Mon- fri. Not only that, they also chose the time when people go to work also be stuck. Thise bus driver could had gotton someone fired. Not only by Bus stop working, including train as well. So only cars driver not affected. We couldn't go anywhere until roit fininshed. Yes, that means i missed not 1 but 5 days of school. Also means money spend on courses was also wasted. I have missed feelings about public transport now. But i wont be rude to them for that tho😅
Dang, and shout out to the person who said “that was a good grab”. We need more people to take care of children like this, they don’t just let us go on our own they pay attention and help guide us.
It was the kid that was getting off the bus that said it. I had to watch a few times just because his reaction was so calm and unaffected but his facial expression knew she just saved him.
As someone who would've avoided a while in the hospital if I had just responded to my name being shouted - no he probably will still be just as oblivious as I still am lol

Screw the guy who blazed it through a school bus stop sign. My school's busses have a camera on them now so if someone does this they can be charged for it.
Considering what I have seen on the roads. Mind you I'm from europ and it is a bit harder to get drivers license here. I would take them away put a driving for a few years, or decades, and have them go to driving school again. The only fine for this is you don't deserve to drive ever again.

In the UK a lot of the bus drivers I’ve seen are just blatantly dangerous. Like forcing their way into oncoming traffic out of impatience, some are just blatantly rude, most of the school bus drivers would be doing 40-50mph through small welsh villages baring in mind we use full sized coaches which I feel like are bigger than an American school bus

I just want to know why there is a stretch of road between the door and the pavement. In the UK, the door is always on the side of the pavement, is this not the same in this place? Or is the bus driver the one at fault for the kid being in danger in the first place?
@@LucidLiuxxThey'd have to make the route twice as long if they did that. If the door is in the right and the house is on the left then they'll have to walk across the pavement
well, he was in a shock state to the point of barely visible shaking. I highly doubt that the kid truly did understood what nearly happened until after a few minutes. Something like that happened to me when I was young teen too, and I remember being in state of shock when I simply ran away without thinking about much else, heart beating so fast and almost having trouble breathing then. Felt guilty I didn't thank the man that saved me, though I did met him again later and gave my gratitude. Still remember it after all these years clearly XD Still, that's dome great reaction of the bus driver. She deserves both respect and pay rise for that
