[quote=Anonymous]Kid goes to a magnet school and the bus timings from ES are at 7:15am - sign says not to park during hours 8:15 to 9:30 and 7:15 is not listed. Many of us parents idle in that lane and one bus usually just parks behind the last car or on the lane next to it and kids get in and go. A new bus driver on the second bus does not park in the usual spot at the back but flashes the light and parks too close to the last car making us move. If we move forward to the front of the line, he comes all the way to the front behind the last car and again flashes the full beam. Today at drop off after ES kids were gone (around 4pm) there were just 2 of us in that lane. The car in front of me did not move so I couldn't either when he came too close to me and I stayed put. After the kids got off he parked next to me, opened the bus door and said I had to move. I asked him how could I if the car in front of me did not move. He said I should not be idling in the bus lane. He did not bother to tell the other car driver.

By law, are we not allowed to idle in bus lane when the sign does not say it? Is he just being a DB? The other bus driver does not care and just parks in the lane next to the bus lane and goes on his way. We parents have been doing this for 2 years prior and this is the first time someone has been aggressive and flashing lights and coming too close to us.[/quote]
