[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you seem to forget that there was a bus that slipped on the side of the road last week. No one hurt but imagine if that was your child in there. You would've freaked out. That's why. Highways are fine, school buses drive on neighborhood street. If you haven't walked outside yet and feel that some spots are slippery.

I understand that you need to get to work. I hate missing so much work too but I guess there were some buses that went out and realized it was not good enough to drive in. [/quote]

That bus driver was traveling too fast and failed to slow for the turn.  It was 100% preventable and 100% driver error.  [/quote]

Ok well if it hadn’t been icy, his error would not have put him in a ditch. Blaming the bus driver is fine, but it doesn’t erase the end result or somehow make it better. MCPS doesn’t want to be explaining to parents how their child’s injuries were the result of bad bus driving, they want no injuries in the first place.

And it’s not just the bus drivers, they have to worry about all the others, too. About 15 years ago there was a huge accident on Muncaster Mill—truck with bad brakes skidded, crossed the center line, hit a bus from Mill Creek Towne ES head on.  MCPS bus driver was killed, 3 students in critical condition.

I think they’re over cautious but then I’m not the one who would get sued. [/quote]
