Time to put external cameras on school buses

[Platapus]

We had yet another incident where a child was run over by a driver failing to stop for a school bus.

A 7 year old had to be put in a medical coma. That's not a great sign.

Last spring, the Maryland State Department of Educatiin's study found 3,812 bus-stop violations...in a single day!!!


To me, the solution is to equip strategically placed cameras around school buses and to record the license plate of anyone who violates the state laws about stopping for a school bus.

Slap these morons with a $500 fine and that will not only teach them a lesson but would bring in almost $2 million dollars just for that one day's violations. That should pay for any expenses in getting school buses equipped with cameras.

Those who violate this law, need to have a harsh punishment that does not involve a ticket but requires a court appearance. Violating this law, to me, indicates a disregard for the safety of children.

Are there really people out there who don't know to stop when a school bus has its flashing lights on and the big frickin stop sign displayed???

This type is negligence just burns my bisects.
