Good question. [b] It shows the public needs to be educated about the law.[/b]  The bus driver is required to give notice that the bus is stopping.  That notice is guaged by distance.  That gives the cars a chance to stop before the stop arm goes out.  If the bus driver does not give sufficient notice and flips out the stop arm these cameras will still take a picture.  That means if a car is next to a bus when it flips out the stop arm, that car is given a ticket even though the driver has no opportunity whatsoever to stop.

These cameras take pictures of every car, whether or not the car had a chance to stop or not.  The cameras are not calibrated for Maryland law.  They were set up for Dallas, Tx and Louisiana - the two jurisdictions involved in the bribery schemes.

You mean, about STOPPING FOR A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS?

Who are these people? Seriously? Why do you think it's ok to not stop for a stopped school bus?[/quote]

Do you live in Montgomery County?

Likely, these are the same drivers who drive without car insurance, because they see it as a ‘victimless’ crime.  Or, the same drivers who hit another vehicle and just drive away because nobody was there to see it.

Without enforcement, people break the laws.  Especially in MoCo.[/quote]
