A Truckers Creed

glad to hear the dumbasre bus driver got cited. she should have been charged with "leaving the scene of an accident as well.

maybe she will lose her job.....if so...good riddance.

 

The Bus driver DOES NOT GET TO TELL THE KIDS WE DONT NEED TO GO BACK to the scene of the accident. That's a hit and run technically. At least.

There will be NO difficulty in learning which bus, which driver and so on.

What I am HOPING for to Heaven is that there is a 18 wheeler with a HD Camera recording that bus driver creating a problem.

I will spend all my days praising this trucker who took it off road rather than take a bus out. I would do the same thing without a thought. If I lived in the area I would save some dollars and take that trucker and his family to a proper sit down somewhere a nice meal with the trimmings. It's the least I can do.

I don't want bad things on anyone because to do that means that I might have bad things happen and others will celebrate. With that said, I want that bus driver to be out of a job running kids. Or... at a minimum Properly SUSPENDED and NOT even SEE a school bus for months until he or she is properly sorry, remorseful and retrained not to do that again.

Bus drivers are not supposed to be in a hurry, what's the rush?

 

I hope the bus driver is fired for leaving the scene of an accident. Sheesh! What was she thinking? It was a city bus run? No point to be in a hurry, unless she didnt like her job anyways?

 

Our country is out of control with people only thinking of themselves and putting others in danger, that truck driver should be given a huge award by the motoring public and all the children he saved from a dangerous person, thinking we do not need to report it to a bus load of children is criminal and not the way to show the ones that follow us the proper way to act, a long prison sentence should be given that bus driver also a lobotomy to see if any brains are in that head.

 

Reminded me of this. Anyone remember this song?

 

Never swerve, never leave your lane.

 

Absolutely true...

...but anytime I see a school bus I get into another level of cautious.

It chaps me when I see local drivers speeding through a school zone. I was going the posted 25 mph in a school zone last year, just before pulling into a truck stop at the other end. It was unbelievable. Pickups and SUV's blowing my doors off to get their coffee at that truck stop.

As I am waiting in line to buy my coffee, I over hear a local chatting with the cashier about how it's such a pain in the ### to slow down to 25 mph in the school zone in a 55 mph highway.

I said, "Why is it I'm not from here, but I love your children more than you do?"

He didn't say a word. Just walked out. Maybe it was my boots, jeans, and work shirt that tipped him off I drive professionally. I do hope that encounter changed his path and of all those listening.

I think about that moment quite a bit since then. Why would local folks choose to disregard speed limits in school zones? More important is why would "professional" drivers do that?

School zone? School bus? Slow the #### down and look for hazards. Cover that brake. It's the time to go to full alert.

 

My friends, family and fiancé know I would take myself out, rather than hit a car or bus load of kids.

 

Maybe that bus driver was having a bad day. Give her a break!
