[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have cars lined up on one side of the road waiting for the bus. The bus stops opposite us and then turns left onto a side road. The bus has already left but kids are still getting into the cars. There is this one mom who pulls out and drives rashly when other kids are still getting in. What do you do? She hasn't violated the Stop sign rule but it is rather scary when she brushes past while kids are getting in.[/quote]

Are the kids crossing the street themselves?  Are they getting in the car on the traffic side?  I would walk my kid across the street and get them in on the non-traffic side of the car, then go around and get in the car myself.  You shouldn't be loading kids into the car on the traffic side, regardless of any situation.  [/quote]

We don't know how old the kids on the top PP's bus are. Upper-elementary kids, let alone middle-school and high-school kids, should certainly be able to cross the street by themselves.

And walking your own kid across the street doesn't solve the problem of the driver's unsafe behavior.[/quote]

Certainly not middle school or high school if parents are driving them home from the bus stop.  [/quote]

I drive my middle-schooler home from the bus stop. It's a magnet bus with a central bus stop that's 2 miles from our house with no sidewalks. [/quote]
