Caught on Cam: Disturbing driving near B.C. school bus 

1:06 I almost had a heart attack

Can we take a moment and appreciate the driver.

Imagine how much anxiety this bus driver has everyday.

I like how they called the children inside the buses “our most precious cargo.”

The time when a car hits a child Driver: iT wAsN't mY fAUlT

Bus drivers: **blasts horn, turns on lights, ands puts sign out** Drivers: y’all hear/see that?

This happened to me when I was in kindergarten. I had just gotten off the bus and was walking across the road to my daycare when all of a sudden a car came speeding down the road. Luckily someone nearby saw and yelled for me to jump out of the way. I may not be alive today if it wasn’t for that person who witnessed what had happened. When my mom found out, she tried to get information from the bus driver and from the person who witnessed it, and tried to get help to figure out who’s car it was and make sure that they were stopped. But no one would help, no one would listen. Any other incident like that would be in the news, but mine was never. They refused, never even tried to look into what happened and I’m not really sure why. And I’m not sure who it was, but whoever yelled for me to get off the road, thank you so,so much for saving me

That must be very frustrating for the bus drivers that have to deal with this.

They should make the stop sign longer so it covers the whole lane.

Bus: **honks horn several times** Cars: I can hear you, but I won’t.

Ignoring a school stop sign should be a $500-$1000 fine not $160

This makes me grateful for the bus driver I had in high school. Everyone said she was over the top but she would get out and put on a vest and hold up a stop sign whenever kids had to cross on the opposite side.

1:07 my heart dropped the kids looked so little.

Bus- *blaring horn while lights are flashing* Cars- "Go faster? *OKAY!*

1:06 goddamn scared the crap out of me

I will admit my entire 12 years in school I’ve never seen someone not stop. I always looked out the window.

Bus drivers should just block the 2 lanes of traffic so they literally cant go at all

Cant they just get a police car to follow a bus around.

When I was in elementary school in the late 60's one of my school mates lost her 7 year old brother when he was hit crossing the road to catch the bus. Buddy was such a sweet little blond haired boy. So sad 😞

Bus lights: *Exists* Drivers: Ima pretend i didn't see that

As someone who’s been hit by a car and still recovering from it over a year later, I freaking pray that something changes for the buses.

Kid: I just look both ways and run Same kid same

I’ve always been in a small school but I never knew that it’s normal to have 100 kids per bus. Even before COVID hit, we had 40 kids on each bus. I thought it was big.

this happened to me when i was in elementary school. i remember my bus driver followed the person who ignored the stop sign through almost the entire neighborhood, it was kinda scary.

If you ignore a school bus flashing a stop sign, and hit my kids, you will receive a personal visit from me.

This is a great person who went out of her way for the safety of the children I hope that she is not the only one

Omg what wrong with those drivers…🤦🏻‍♂️ Be safe everybody !🙏

Thank goodness that we have respectful bus drivers where I live. None of the children are at risk.

If I was that bus driver I would've done this the stop sign already: 🚍--⛔ What I would have done: 🚍-----------------------------------⛔

one time... I was on a school bus and someone did this and I threw a Pencil at their car lol

I feel so bad for the kids that get hit

In Korea, there is law that all school, academy buses should have a helper who gets down from the bus and sees if they safely went in. Wish that law was in other countries, too.

That’s scary😱 I’m not even a parent and it pisses me off🤬

1:13 Finally, a kid with logic.

I love how she takes care of them like they are he children❤️ I would love her as my bus driver

1:08 I thought they actually DIED ON FILM. I got so scared my heart skipped a beat from that 😪

My bus driver stops in the middle of the road so no car goes by

Kids: *getting off bus* Cars: im about to end this man's whole career

That scares me to NO END!! I ALWAYS tell my kids to be careful when they get on & off the bus... a specially when I'm NOT THERE! (I TRY to be there but sometimes I just can't .)

When I was getting off the bus I car almost hit me and my uncle was outside and saw it he FLIPPED OUT and literally chased the car it was scary but hilarious 😂

There should be a device that, when the stop sign is engaged, a motion detecting camera snaps pics of vehicle passing by. On the other side of the stop sign. Have those photos sent to the local PD. Send those ppl a hefty ticket. Maybe they'll learn.

After watching three videos of bus drivers abandoning kids and holding them hostage on the bus, it’s refreshing to see one that cares, as infuriating as the other drivers are

Here in Missouri our bus drivers for our district are trained to pull in the middle of the road to block the other lane. No passing cars unless they want to hit a bus.

In Grade 8 I gave my bus driver a bag of pebbles. Anytime a car would drive past the flashing lights he'd throw one or multiple at it. The passing stopped after three people got broken windsheilds. When people complained about broken windshields and the bus driver should be ticketed, the cops just ticketed them for passing a bus with flashing lights using the bus's dashcam as evidence. That was a fun month

This happens on my bus too, my bus driver writes down their license plate numbers and hands it in to the police, they usually get ticket /fines

and it's even worse when you have to go through the struggles yourself. yep, everyday i have to cross a street, and i usually stand in front of the school bus with sheer terror i'm going to get run over.

That is terrifying!

I have never seen a bus driver this caring. Ours just open the doors and don’t say nun.

The police should just follow every bus around

i was almost hit in middle school. luckily my driver saw and yelled for me to stop but the audacity of drivers to not stop for less than a minute is crazy to me

The three kids that almost got hit made my heart stop

People need to get arrested

Were I live u will get arrested for this for child endangerment and I agree with it

That is the most nicest and smartest bus driver I have seen ever. It's like the drivers act like they cant read. Ots so obvious they cant even wait 5 seconds to save a kid from getting hurt

One time I saw a school bus stop sign out but someone drove through

That bus's horn is gonna wear out.

I think these drivers should have their licenses revoked. What is their problem? Late for work?

I live in Iowa, lately the busses have been stopping diagonally across both lanes of traffic.

thats upseting if I saw that happen i would follow the person until it was reported to the police to make sure justice is served!

A very simple solution would be to have high resolution cameras that would capture both the face of the driver and the license plate... The ticket would come in the mail. Just like traffic cams.

Omg it's unbelievable that there's so many heartless idiot drivers.. I was so scared for those kids almost getting hit.

So glad they mentioned children need to look both ways before running in the street

Like how much of a rush could you be in that you can't stop for two seconds so kids can get off the bus and be safe. Smh

1:44 Divine: “Lock And Loaded!” *Car Blocks Divine* Divine: :o

Put a train horn in the school bus

You can hear my heart pounding

In the drivers manual it explicitly says that you should stop when the school bus lights turn on, once the buses lights are off and it starts to move then you can continue driving

ITS TIME TO STOP

Just add some spike strips to that LED stop sign and violators will get what they deserve.

Wow, that was a real miracle.

Seeing all these videos I feel lucky because after riding the bus for a long time I always see the cars stop and wait instead of pass

Simple solution we do in Maryland. Block all lanes by stopping diagonally. Works every time.

I wonder how they got their driver license??

I don't get it why the school bus stops on the middle of the road not the next of the sidewalk.

As a school bus driver 10 years in, I’m TIRED of seeing this type of crap on the regular 😒

1:07 “Holy crap didn’t see that comin”

put camera s on the busses and mail the owner of license plait the bill and make it a 1000.00 fine

They should treat it as stopping for like any emergency vehicle

I seen somebody say they probably didn’t stop because her hazard lights were on but it still doesn’t explain why they ignored the stop sign especially when those kids were waiting to cross

Bet that if it was their children they would stop....

The reporter says "the police can't be everywhere". That's true, but an unmarked car could follow the bus and start laying tickets on people. Hit drivers in the pocketbook (with fines and increased insurance rates for things like this) and they'll start to fall in line.

When I was in school the bus driver had to get out with a hand held stop sign. When did that stop?

The amount of times I heard the horn made my ear wax fill up

All school buses need to be equipped with airs horns. If a car isn't stopping, blast them!

I remember, in 3rd grade, that my bus stopped at a daycare to drop of some students, and a car flew by the bus, nearly hitting a kid. Following the car was a police car. Everyone cheered and the car got pulled over and got fined $200!

I'm sorry for you

Wow that is actually disturbing

She needs a train horn

Jesus Christ what is wrong with people????

This happened on my bus everyday and My bus stop was on a busy street and are bus driver said “If somebody’s not stopping take your phone out and record them I don’t care if you phone out for it just do it.” I’m not sure when ever happened to those drivers but I don’t take the bus anymore but pretty obvious it still happens daily.

A little girl (6-8) from Whitefish, Montana was hit by a car because someone didn't stop for the bus. Her dad and grandpa saw her get hit as she was running towards them.

*Easy solution:* *Park diagonally*

Running a school buses' stop sign is basically drivers license suicide where I live.

I have seen exactly the same thing,when a child is hit by a bad driver it will be too late

In PEI if you pass a school bus it is a $5000 fine, 12 demerit points and an automatic 3 month driver's license suspension.

A guy I know was hit by a car who ignored the bus laws. He was a bright and promising student. Now he cannot speak and screams at anything that scares him.

Hopefully the camera was able to capture the licence plates! My friend in elementary school almost got hit while trying to cross the street after getting off of the bus and if she hadn't stopped walking across when she did she would have been severet injured or dead. The fine for not stopping should be so much higher than it is, and if a cop is nearby I think they should be arrested.

bus driver: YOU HAVE TO STOP. Driver: does not care.

An update on this please 1🙏🏽

Are you kidding me? Some people shouldn’t be able to drive, and law enforcement needs to confiscate licenses for this
