[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you see a school bus, you should be prepared to stop. Whether they need to change routes or move stops to quieter streets means nothing when the question is whether YOU should stop. Bus = foot off the gas and on the brake.

Go ahead and contest it, OP. But pls don’t waste everyone’s time pleading fatigue. That’s impaired driving. Or confusion about the lights. That’s lack of understanding of driving laws.

On second thought, just pay the fine and come here and complain about it more. It will be cheaper in the end.

And just wait till your baby is riding a bus and some idiot doesn’t stop.

Op here. I have an older child who rides the bus. Please don’t order me around. I hope one day something similar happens to you because you sound like a bi*** [/quote]

Then you should be even more concerned about your own lack of awareness of traffic laws and basic safety around a school bus. You sound like an idiot trying to defend your bad driving. Just pay your fine. [/quote]

OK, you need to calm down instead of dumping on OP. Several of us have posted that we've had tickets too, and described situations where it's very difficult to see the bus, or identify quickly enough that it's a situation where stopping is required (because you don't just stop every time you see a school bus, you'd end up being hit by other cars around you).

OP has raised a very important subject of discussion: that sometimes school bus laws present too much of a burden on drivers for no marked safety benefit.

OP is trying to find a good excuse to take to court to contest her fine. Fatigue. Baby in the car. Confusing lights. She’s isn’t going to win with any of those arguments. If anything, the PP is saving OP from a bigger fine.

Op didn’t say she or he would give any of those reasons. She mentioned she was following a green but didn’t say the lights were “confusing”. Sounds like you just want to sh** on a new mom. [/quote]
