People drive around buses All.The.Time in my Silver Spring neighborhood.  Even the parents who drive their kids to the bus stop.  I don't understand it!  You are dropping your OWN kid off at the bus stop, and then you zoom around the bus??

Glad they are cracking down.  [/quote]

I got a ticket from one of these.   A bus stopped in front of a day care curb.   I was three lanes away on the other side of the bus where there is no sidewalk.  Since there was no median on this four lane road, I was breaking the law.  If there is a median separating the right two lanes and left two lanes, then passing the bus is legal.

Apparently, these bus tickets have clogged the local courts, since the buses are required to run the yellow flashing lights for at least 100 feet(?) before deploying the red blinking stop signs.  A lot of bus drivers don't do this.[/quote]

The video is reviewed four times by different people before a citation is issued. They all check to see if the bus driver turned on the yellow lights.  You won’t get a ticket if the bus driver did something wrong. . [/quote]

That's complete garbage.  54,000 citations and you think each one is reviewed 4 times?  There are only 2 people.  [/quote]

Nope. It’s reviewed both by the vendor and by the police department. There are more than 2 people in the police ATEU alone.[/quote]
