Cornwall police warns motorists about school bus safety
12 th Annual Curl for Heart
The Cornwall police is adopting a zero- tolerance attitude towards school-bus re- lated violations. Officers intend, among other measures, to pro-actively follow school buses looking for violators and in some cases they will be present aboard specific school buses trav- elling in known trouble spots. They will in turn report violators to a nearby patrol ve- hicle so that the offender may be appre- hended and fined. School bus operators are also carrying
violation forms, which they complete and turn over to police for investigation. This form contains details of the alleged offence such as license number of the offending vehicle, location, date and time of the of- fence as well as a description of the driver. According to police, the introduction of the school bus violation form has been a major factor in reducing the number of violations. Fines for school-bus related offences can cost up to $490. Violators can lose up to six demerit points.
