We are well into the 1977-78
school year now. The evidence of
his is seen each school day,
morning and afternoon, when the
large chrome yellow school buses
uscour highways to transport our
ildren to and from school The
recious load these vehicles tarry
s the most important thing in
ost of our lives, yet we, as
iotorists, still endanger their
yes.
It seems even in our remote
ounty, free of the large city type
ustle bustle, we still have most
otorists rushing on our
ghways, many times to go
where in particular, over 'the
eed limit. They find it annoying
owait behind a school bus taking
or discharging our children.
People who are annoyed at
eing slowed down by a schoOl
us or any other slow moving
chicle on the highway, including
ghtseeing motorists, get
ustrated especially when
coming traffic leaves not quite
ough room to pass this
wdling vehicle. Dangerous
antes are taken to get around
e vehicle sometimes causing
ead on collisions, people being
ced off the road, and even
assing on the right (driving off
nto the shoulder). If this slow
oving vehicle was a school bus,
Ink of the little people who
ould be injured or killed. One of
ni may be your son or your
tighter,
In an effort to reduce the
sibility of a school bus
cident, we encourage all
otorists to think of the precious
rgo carried by the school bus.
Please don't take your
strations out oh our children.
Most school bus drivers try to
omodate motorists by pulling to a hard shoulder to allow OW
otorists behind room to pass
notcatise a build up of traffic.
