Okay fair enough, however I do see buses (my experiences are on Trudeau, North of Derry) where the bus has stopped like 4 times at 4 different houses for 1-2 children per household!! Completely frustrates the hell out of me, and I find myself trying to swing down side streets to avoid being stuck behind it.
Why would you take to the side streets? Isn't it easier just to drive around the bus?
To big_mac ---I hope your kidding, because driving around the school bus while it's stopped and loading kids is illegal and the whole reason for this discussion. If you're not kidding than I can't wait to write your plate down and turn it in.
Ya totally...I just don't want someone writing down my license plate and taking the time out of their obviously not so busy day to go to the cops about it.
It doesn't matter how busy or not busy my day is, I can always find time to observe the posted speed limit in a residential area as well as stop and wait for a school bus. I'd say that if you can't plan enough time to get where you have to be without speeding or passing a school bus while it loads kids than you need to leave earlier or deal with the fact that there are citizens who care enough to report you by writing down your plate. I'll bet if I came to your street and was speeding or passing a school bus while your children or your friends children were getting on the bus you would have a problem with it.
First off...you have no sense of humour, if you can't tell that big_mac and myself were joking. Relax a little.
Secondly, you should definitely win Citizen of the Year.
And lastly, I would probably shake my head and give you the finger but I certainly would not take time out of my day to stalk you and confront you or to go talk to the cops about it.
You don't know a thing about my sense of humor and why should I relax about this? So people can continue to drive like idiots till someone is hurt..
There's no stalking..it happened in front of my house on my street..all I had to do was get out of my car... and the Dr last week was in front of me and went to the same office building so yes I confronted him too. Trust me I realize that these people are not worth me going out of my way to "stalk" but it is worth my time to take action against it instead of sitting buy and doing nothing.
I said you have no sense of humour if you can't tell we were joking.
Yes, it's an issue that people pass buses, I GET IT.
What's a bigger issue is that the buses have to stop so many times on one street. 4th line is not that long of a road to LSL, I walk my dog up it all the time so I know that if you live at 4th and Derry you sure can walk your ass down to Clark to catch a bus, ditto if you're at 4th and LSL. There only needs to be ONE stop, maybe another added at LSL and 4th when that side gets built up.
Why is it illegal to go around a bus if they're only picking kids up? Kids can only get on the bus one way and that's on the right side, so why can't I pass on the left? I get it if the bus is dropping kids off because they can get off and run around the bus without looking, but when they're all standing on the sidewalk waiting to get on, what risk are they at if I pass slowly on the other side?
