[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few maryland counties each issued over 50k bus camera citations per year.  Clearly most of these drivers are not egregiously running past stopped school buses in a neighborhood and putting kids in danger, but most of them are on multiple lane highways that dont have a median. ive observed this many times with several cars not even noticing the bus or unable to stop because they are at highway speed.  Its a money grab scam unfortunately and people love it because it protects the kids supposedly.[/quote]

You're describing a scenarios that involve egregiously running the stop sign and putting kids in danger. It doesn't matter that is isn't happening in a neighborhood-- kids are still getting on or off the bus.[/quote]

It would be egregious for a bus driver to release kids across a multi lane highway with 50 mph speed limit.  That doesn't happen thankfully, but the tickets still come flying.  [/quote]

One of my close friends was hit by a car in such a scenario, so you're not going to get any pity from me.

But you're right that it shouldn't be about money. Violations caught on camera should result in 3 points, too.[/quote]
