WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF RIDING A SCHOOL BUS?
School buses are the most regulated vehicles on the road. The safety of the children on board is the top priority, and every precaution is taken to ensure students safely arrive at their destinations. This level of care means that school bus accidents account for less than 1 percent of all traffic fatalities nationwide. While some concern is raised regarding the lack of seat belts on board, the truth is that children are most in danger when getting on or off the school bus. If your kids are taking the school bus this year, make sure they are aware of basic bus safety rules. Rules at the Bus Stop The bus stop is not a playground. There should be no running or playing while waiting for the bus. Teach your kids to stay out of the street, line up facing the bus door, and to not approach the bus until it stops completely, the doors open, and the driver signals that it’s okay to board.
Also, students should get to the bus stop five minutes before the bus arrives so they aren’t tempted to run if they see the bus coming.
Beware the Danger Zone School Transportation News reports around 19 children are killed each year while getting on or off the bus. These tragic accidents often happen within the “danger zone,” which is the space 10 feet in front of or behind the bus. Kids are struck by bus drivers who cannot see them in this area or by cars illegally passing a stopped bus. Teach kids to stay far away from the street while waiting for the bus, to take five big steps after getting off the bus, and to make eye contact with the bus driver and wait for their signal before they cross the street. Riding the school bus is a safer way to get students to and from school than walking or riding in the family car, as long as students and drivers treat school buses with respect and follow these safety rules.
