Truck Driver cited for "road raging" a school bus driver

While I saw the same on the news, I gotta ask...."What's the connection between this and the CB Radio Forum?"

 

Looks to me like this is in the "General...Anything & Everything --> Truckers News" section.

 

School buses going slow? Uh not around here... They just had a special on the news here in Chicago showing the amount of buses that have been caught speeding, blowing red lights and reckless driving...

 

Chicago school buses are awful...most of what I have witnessed is when there are no kids on the bus though.

Once I was going around Atlanta and saw a Davis driver tailgating and flashing his lights at a school bus (with kids)...asked him over the CB what in the heck he was doing..."####### ####### school bus is going to ####### slow!" Yup...pretty sure he told me to "mind my own ####### business" as well...how original.

 

I've sen some school busses have 7 or 8 cars/trucks behind them on 2 lane roads in rural areas, and stopping every half mile or so ... ok ... but then I've seen them have a stop at a wide spot in the road where they could have easily pulled over off the roadway with their flashing red lights, made the stop, waited for the kid(s) to walk well away from the road, then turned off the flashing red lights, and allow those behind to go on around before proceeding ... but no, they refused to be considerate and take advantage of a wide spot in the road. So, it's possible for a bus driver to be needlessly INconsiderate in some situations, IMHO

 

What I hated is when the bus who picked up the special needs kids on the street I used to live on would pick up one kid on my street who was so disabled that he couldn't operate his wheelchair and had the lights blocking the road for up to 10 minutes while they loaded this kid up.
