[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so heartbreaking. I do think this is a good time to remind our children how to be safer on roads. Make eye contact with cars before going on a crosswalk, only cross at the walk sign, let distracted drivers pass before crossing, walk your bike instead of riding when crossing. I see drivers and kids taking so many dangerous actions on roads. [/quote]

The eye contact thing is so much harder these days with tinted windshields. Even as a driver, I hate not being able to see the other drivers' faces. [/quote]

It's simple.  Don't cross if you don't make eye contact.  [/quote]

These are kids. They don’t think or act like adults. It’s our job to keep them safe. Is it hard to be a bus driver, absolutely yes. It’s a huge responsibility. Not too different from a pool lifeguard. Some just sit up there. Some are scanning every second. Sad. [/quote]
Why are people assuming the child was crossing the street? She was on her bike and could have been in the bike lane on the right side and for whatever reason wobbled as the bus drove by. This is a terrible tragedy and yes, a good time for safety reminders, but let’s not assume we know what actually happened yet.[/quote]
