School bus cameras catch drivers illegally passing 

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but you could’ve gotten a lawyer or tried to take it to another cop or PD to see if they cared; also maybe the cops will be more accepting today of the information on violations that you provide

On Long Island in both Nassau and Suffolk counties. Many school buses are equipped with cameras that have nailed hundreds of thousands of drivers illegally passing with the red lights flashing. The first fine is $250. If you do it again within an 18 month period, the second fine is $275 and then $300. There is a point to the program but many drivers are also getting nailed with incorrect tickets. If you’re going to have these cameras on the buses, issue citations CORRECTLY.

Buses in Texas don't go over 65 max on the HW with an electric speed governor, and I give way to other drivers because you never know if they arent going to yield to you! I hate when other drivers act rowdy because it makes us all look bad!

@@justanotheraviator2357 I live in Pennsylvania and these busses pass Mustangs on the Schuylkill. Though Im sure, even in Texas, 65 mph with a bus full of rowdy teens can get to deader than a doornail. Unless you lucky Texans also have seatbelts installed in your busses?

@@joshuaedwards3322 Though I ain't anymore Im from Pennsylvania too funny how that works! In Texas new busses do have belts. I have a 2021 with belts, It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

I’ve driven a bus before and I assure you, they are absolutely incapable of going over 65 miles an hour. It’s a small V8 in these buses, nothing more.

Most School buses are Governed Buddy... 55 the max

@@vincebonilla4006 MOST… I GUESS NOT ALL OF THEM…. BUDDY…!!!

Someone there should take it to local media to gather attention for the issue then maybe it’ll be addressed

@@Superman37891 they have and nothing is ever done with this situation and I know someone that didn't stop when a bus was stopped they just went around the bus and kept driving but they got some a lot of berating but they didn't care.

I doubt money will solve this problem. Proffessional drivers, as a rule, are not getting rich. You either do it because you love it and you care, or you do it because you cant find anything better. The latter can become a problem.

It should be even higher then just $500.00 in my opinion

​@@tommydillon4852Oh no. You got us there. Let's do away with all fines, and jails, and prisons, because none of us are perfect. 🙄

Strawman argument... You stink.

Ong I got one today

They should only be 20 bucks and given on single lane residential streets. This multi-lane nonsense has gotta stop. Not everyone can see what is going on in there peripheral vision at all times. Plus people start driving dangerously now when school busses are around. Slamming brakes, stopping in the middle of the road because they’re worried a stop sign might pop out at any given moment. Just get rid of the cameras already and stop pretending this is about safety. See how much safer the world is when a man can’t afford to feed his family for a week because he got a ticket

What about hitting pedestrian jaywalking????

The stop sign on that particular school bus did look smaller than the ones used by the school district’s transportation department that operates in my neighborhood (Santa Clarita, CA). Not sure if certain states and/or local policies have guidelines or requirements for stop sign sizes, but I’m sure nearly all states have the typical red blinking lights as a requirement. I know where I live, the school district has a set of local school district level guidelines that is followed and used when determining where a bus stop should be place (like low-congested streets with a low posted speed limits). Some other On the other hand, schools that don’t have a local policies in place will usually rely solely on existing state-level regulations for guidance. I know a majority of school bus stops in Southern California are usually placed on streets with low traffic flow and on roadways with posted speed limits of 45mph or below. I can’t necessarily say bigger stop signs will be a more effective solution, since usually these stops are done on lower speed rated roadways and the fact that red flashing lights are followed up once the stop sign has been deployed, it should be to obvious to drivers. I just think drivers who are NOT paying attention to their surroundings and the roadway in front of them are more at fault, than the stop sign sizing.

Or the color is wrong. Or the buses should be bigger. Or buses need more lights. Any other stupid ideas. Put down the phone and pay attention.

The bus is stopped, why are you passing it?

You don't think the flashing lights are bright enough?

Are you blind? The lights are also flashing and the sign is big enough to see.

It still doesn't change the rules.

Suspension isn't enough. Idiots like this will just keep driving on a suspended license. It needs to be large fines and/or jail time.

@@mattbosley3531 in My state its up to 3 years in jail and a 500 dollar fine.

I totally agree! It should be much higher then just $300.00
