[QUOTE="Big Rigger, post: 4996867, member: 87168"] I may be paranoid but when I see a school bus I immediately think "kids". SMH I'm all about saving jobs but I'm more about not hitting a child who mindlessly runs across in front of a bus waving the picture they painted for their mom in art class when the child sees her waiting for them. The witness reportedly said she heard a horn honk as the ups truck passed the bus. She also reportedly said that she thought it was the bus driver's horn. That should've been the ups driver's horn and if it wasn't then there's another ignorant act of omission. I'll never forget the little child that was running thru the high traffic Speedway gas station's parking lot to go inside and was killed by a non-commercial vehicle because the child shot out from between vehicles stopped and fueling. Some stupid (and devastated) parent wasn't watching their own child and some stupid driver presumed the importance of getting down the road meant more than expecting the unexpected. Let's not forget that school busses TRANSPORT LITTLE CHILDREN that need protected because they're too young to understand that other drivers will run them over in the street. Unbelievable. This thread is a teaching moment...not a condemnation of another upser and people need to learn from this because a kid isn't taken to a body shop to repair damage the damage. They get taken to the hospital and as in the case I just mentioned above they went from there to the funeral home. Life is not about running scratch. WAKE THE HECK UP! [/QUOTE]
