♪ The wheels on the bus go round and round ♪ … until they stop, then so must you.
Last week, I witnessed several people driving around a stopped school bus that was picking up passengers, and it caused me concern. Did those drivers not know the rules when encountering a school bus coming to a stop? A few days later, one of my students walked into my Zumba class, visibly upset. She saw a driver go around a school bus as one of her “kids” was boarding. She works with Special Olympics and is a retired schoolteacher.
I want to believe that those drivers really did not know what to do and their failure to stop and wait was not because they felt inconvenienced by doing so. But that certainly is not an ideal situation…
