School bus driver involved in road rage incident
9/26/07
WAFF, AL

A Cullman County School bus driver is accusing a truck driver of apparent road rage.
It happened Tuesday afternoon on Highway 31 in Vinemont.
This morning the Cullman Times is reporting bus driver Harold Ashley was leaving the National Mobile Home Disposal and turning right onto 31 when he saw a Jet Pep truck to his left making the same right turn onto 31.
Ashley told the newspaper he blew his horn at the truck driver. He says that's when the truck driver pulled out into the road ahead of him, stopped the truck, and got out.
Ashley says then the truck driver punched one of the bus windows out with his fist.
Six children were on the school bus at the time of the incident.
Cullman County Sheriff's deputies say they couldn't arrest the driver of the truck, Brian Cobb.
They say that's because he was not driving under the influence and the alleged incident did not happen in front of them.
Sheriff's Deputies say Cobb could be charged with a misdemeanor.

Hmmm The truck driver was wrong. He should have punched the bus driver. Bringing a bus load of kids under him in a turning situation, with a load of GAS no doubt.

Bus driver pulling out and making a RIGHT turn, truck driver coming OPPOSITE direction making a LEFT. That means the truck driver had to cross traffic to turn and the bus driver HAD the right-of-way. So the truck driver should have punched the bus driver instead? That just doesn't make sense....

To his left making the SAME right turn. In other words, the driver had swung out wide, or was turning from the center of the road. When the safety minded bus driver pulled under his blind side...kids and all.

No mention of across the road...turning left onto 31.

Defense rest.

No the driver wasn't right. But being a local...he probably had seen enough of the unsafe maneuvers with the local kids...maybe even his. That this BUS driver had pulled, and made a very loud statement.
