SCHOOL BUS TOP VIEW PHOTOSHOP DRIVERS
Learn and obey the school bus laws in your state, as well as the "flashing signal light system" that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions:.Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic. Watch for children playing and congregating near bus stops.Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in neighborhood. When driving in neighborhoods with school zones, watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking of getting there safely.When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school.Make school bus transportation safer for everyone by following these practices:
SCHOOL BUS TOP VIEW PHOTOSHOP DRIVER
Your child should not try to pick up the item, because the driver might not be able to see him/her. If your child drops something near the school bus, like a ball or book, the safest thing is for your child to tell the bus driver right away. Your child should also make eye contact with the bus driver before crossing to make sure the driver can see him/her. If your child must cross the street in front of the bus, tell him/her to walk on a sidewalk or along the side of the street to a place at least five giant steps (10 feet) in front of the bus before crossing. Your child should never walk behind a school bus. Your child should use the handrails to avoid falling. When the school bus arrives, your child should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before approaching the bus door. Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play. Visit the bus stop and show your child where to wait for the bus: at least three giant steps (six feet) away from the curb. Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Since the sizes and weights of small school buses are closer to those of passenger cars and trucks, seat belts in those vehicles are necessary to provide occupant protection. Small school buses (with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less) must be equipped with lap and/or lap/shoulder belts at all designated seating positions. Through compartmentalization, children are protected from crashes by strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing seat backs.

NHTSA decided the best way to provide crash protection to passengers of large school buses is through a concept called “compartmentalization.” This requires that the interior of large buses protect children without them needing to buckle up. Because of these differences, bus passengers experience much less crash force than those in passenger cars, light trucks and vans. Large school buses are heavier and distribute crash forces differently than passenger cars and light trucks do. But school buses are different by design, including a different kind of safety restraint system that works extremely well.


There is no question that seat belts play an important role in keeping passengers safe in these vehicles.

Seat belts have been required on passenger cars since 1968 and 49 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws requiring the use of seat belts in passenger cars and light trucks.
