Reanimating a dead thread to endorse passing stopped school buses?

Yes. There is no distance calibration on these cameras and no way to see if the bus complied with Maryland law with regard to putting their warning lights on as required. Bus drivers can just flip the stop sign out and video any vehicle that passes so they get a ticket.

School bus drivers are required by State law to turn on flashing yellow lights 100 feet before stopping, and then to
activate their flashing red lights when stopped. If the bus didn't do that the ticket is invalid.

Are school bus drivers given quotas of how many tickets to give out each day?

I hope some of you were driving the cars that almost ran me and my son down both today AND yesterday and got big fat tickets as a result. Local street. Bus had had the yellow lights on for more than a block before the red lights came on and the stop sign came out. Today one car was GOING AROUND the car in front of her that had properly stopped. All to get a little faster to a red light that was going to remain red for another two minutes. Unbelievable.

Incorrect. The camera can take a picture of the rear of a vehicle. There are 14 cameras on every bus.

Don't forget that there are five lanes full of cars and trucks between the bus camera and the complaining poster. That's why the complaining poster can't even see the bus. Remember?

Remember, cars and buses move.

Make up your mind. Either the driver can't see the bus, and then the bus cameras also can't see the car. Or the driver actually can see the bus.

Are you that stupid? Cars and buses move.

Look at the google street view picture. It’s not divided where there are turn lanes.

WOW.

This is how I got my ticket. It's crazy. In most places buses don't let kids out on the side of a 5-6 lane divided road. But here they do.

Many people on my neighborhood listserv have contested their tickets, many of which seem to show they have already passed the school bus as the sign is going out.

You got a ticket for not stopping when you were going the opposite direction of the stopped bus on Rockville Pike?

Yes. That is what is happening. That is how the vendor can pile up $21.4 million in fine money. They are getting all the fine cash, whether or not the citations were legit.

Of course it's not divided where there are turn lanes, because if it were, turning drivers would have to drive over the median. That doesn't make it an undivided highway.
