there are many drivers that do not obey traffic laws in general. Vary few use turn signals, observe stop signs and red lights. There needs to be a serious crack down on these drivers for the safety of all. Passing a school bus with its sign out should be cause for loss of license.

I agree, jhoover. The significance of this whole thing is that it happens at least once or more times a week, usually in the mornings.

At least twice, a motorist has stopped for the bus and the motorist behind him/her HONKED at the stopped car that was obeying the law!
