There are many reasons for this. The distinctive yellow and black colouring, the stop arm, the flashing lights are all designed to warn other drivers- that this vehicle must be treated with extra respect and caution. The construction and equipment standards of the school bus are controlled by more government regulations than any other vehicle on public roadways, with licensed mechanics Inspecting every school bus at least twice a year. The OMT also makes regular,and random inspections. A school bus driver receives between 20 and 40 hours of specialized driver training and completes written exams and. In -vehicle training. Those with poor.drlver or criminal record are excluded andregular medical exams are required. Every driver must complete certified driver improvement courses, be aware of traffic laws and safety procedures and faces regular, re-examination. A school bus driver, whooperates a large vehicle, controls up to 60 children, follows a tight schedule maintaining alertness for hazards created by other drivers, is dedicated to a high standard of: job commitment. The greatest danger.faced by a school bus driver Is another driver who disregards the law; particularly the law .requiring vehicles to come to a complete stop, IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, when the school bus's flashing red lights are on and stop arms are extended. The greatest number and most serious accidents involving school busing occur as the child Is boarding or leaving the vehicle.

On visiting the camp, Constable , Moore learned that the young . fellow, who was going nowhere in particular, having no money to pay for lodging, had decided to do without supper and pass the night in the scant shelter of the cedars, warmed by a fire which he had kindled. But so many "spooky" men have appeared bet- ween her and Whitechurch in recent years, that the inhabitants of that distract have become suspicious, and readily report to the authorities. Moore took the wayfarer to his own lodging, gave him supper, bed and breakfast and sent him on his way, if no rejoicing, .., at any rate feeling much better than if he had sly in the open and had water from the - brookfor eakfast� .
