Mr. Buffinga said the driver
has his hands. .,tied when . he
witnesses motorists.,paSsing his

crime in order for the motorist to

the driver Should be able to 'write
down the license number of the
vehicle and give it to police to
handle accordingly.
Mr. Bbffinga explained that
bus drivers normally check traffic
in front Of anctbehind the stopped
bus before opening the door to
discharge Children.
Hele said if a vehicle is
approaching and appears to have
no intention of stopping the driver
will wait until it has passed before
opening the bus door. Once the
children are out of the, bus the
driver usually checks traffice to
ensure it is safe for the children
to cross the road and then signals
them* to go ahead.
• Indications are that police'
forces are doing their utmost to
prevent accidents involving
motorists ignoring stopped buses
but simply can't patrol the
hundreds of miles of bus routes
travelled daily by the buses.
