- Police are cracking down on drivers ignoring school bus stop lights in Huron Township. It's one of the first things taught in driver's training. You see flashing lights on a school bus, and you stop your vehicle until those lights turn off. But lots of drivers are ignoring that and putting students in danger.
$5,000 to $10,000 Fines. If they can't pay, sell the car.
Sell the car and give up your license for 4 years plus prison time.
@@Tc-ev9dd insane
@@Tc-ev9dd only 4 years that’s less than half what you lose it for if you get a DUI per say that means they can’t even prove you’re intoxicated
Fines don't matter to people who can afford it.
hard fines aren't the solution, its more frequent fines. All busses should have cameras to automatically send $200 tickets to the drivers
I’m a local truck driver in Myrtle Beach and Charleston areas. Whenever I see a car speeding past a stopped bus I use my air horn. You’d be surprised how many motorists see the red lights w/ stop signs and just gun it to 70 mph. It’s sickening to witness this when kids are loading onto the bus.
I’m moving to South Carolina, more specifically the Charleston area! Good on you dude… Wish cops would pay more attention to this because I saw online that the law in SC they would throw the book at you over this. 30 day jail time or $500 fine and 6 points on your license. I currently live in PA and it’s just a slap on the wrist here: $250-300 fine and 4 pts. It’s bad
Charge them with attempted murder and child endangerment that’ll make people stop running the stop sign. I’ve witnessed a few close calls myself when I see people pass school buses with stop signs out. When those lights are on the children have the right of way, especially ones that have to cross the street.
💀💀
If you already have charged them for child endangerment that covers both categories and it would be redundant
What about the cop that almost hit a kid driving between the bus and the side of the road with the stop lights on
@@nothanks9503 which one
@@jayasmrmore3687 might as well be the hypothetical one but that’s not to say it didn’t happen in the past and recently
Sad thing is, most of these people who are driving past the school bus are parents of children, most of their kids also travel on a bus.
As a bus driver for 27 years I’ve had people drive under my rear bumper as I’m stopped with all lights lit and claim they didn’t see me. Oncoming cars running reds was so common that I stopped bothering to report it. One little kid had to go through special training on getting off because drivers would pass me on the shoulder in front of her house as she was stepping off.
Here in Maine it's a civil or criminal violation. But both of them cost $600. The criminal violation add the the chance of jail time. Up too a year. You will also loose 6 out of 12 points on your license.
Oddly enough I had one of your bus drivers cut me off after I went out of my way to stop before he even had his sign out.
Driver tried to speed away from the stop with his stop sign out. A bus can’t be a stop sign and moving at the same time, that’s just illogical
*lose
The driver said she was afraid to stop because of the wet pavement. The bus shown also had flashing yellow lights that come on before the red lights - much like the yellow light on a traffic light. She had plenty of time to stop safely.
Finally some actual good police work.
They have nothing else to do anyway.
I think the school bus law should be federal law period.
I live in SC and see this all the time. I believe fines should be increases across the US, in EVERY state. These people are putting children's lives at stake...for what??? Cause you looking at your stupid phone, want to save a few seconds??? How would you feel if one of those same people hit your child???
But officer I dint see the 50 foot bright yellow bus 🚌 with giant twinkling lights officer 😂 I promise I didn’t see it
Seriously some people just don't even deserve to have a drivers license in the first place blah.
About time , we need more police presence on the roads too.
It does little to fix the problem unless there is some serious teeth in the penalty. A thousand dollar fine AND lose license for 90 days first offense.
Start giving them a $500 ticket and I guarantee you they will stop buying past the school buses you got to hit drivers where it hurts in their pocket $500 tickets
Perhaps the State should consider raising those points as well. In Tennessee, it is a hefty 8 points.
I’m an attendant on a special needs bus I see this everyday
In the dark, there is no reason for any driver to not see those red lights. People just don't give a damn.
She was afraid she would slide when it turned red? Is that the way she runs red lights also? Yellow is a warning the light is turning red.
She’s just dumb
It’s great they made this noticeable for people who don’t stop for the kids ,And,Teens on school bus stops. To make it noticeable for their safety.
They should face the same charges as drunk driving and child endangerment. Should result in automatic loss of license for life, that will change their attitudes pretty quickly once word gets around.
Just to teach them a lesson... not for life
No that’s absurd
Thank you officers!!
Yeah i agree slow down and stop for the bus
Every single school bus should have an ANPR camera on the side and automatically issue tickets to those that don't stop. It should be a legal requirement of every school bus in service.
This happens to me every month
when i was a kid in the early 70's a girl about 8 years old got off the bus and a car hit her and she flew up on top of the bus. and the car didn't even stop but thank God she didn't really get hurt and back then we only had about 30 houses on our road and we knew who did it.
Truth is drivers knows the law when it comes to the school bus they just don't care. If caught by a police officer they will just try making something up why they did not stop for the bus.
What do they get charged for like a $10,000 ticket in 6 months in jail what's the fine
Can’t stand how selfish some are
It’s crazy to think people don’t care to stop for kids cause they won’t care to stop if they hit one.
FOR the police: if you augment at 5 points, at the beginning it would make the headline. Once , they found out WHY , it would make the headline once again but the people will stop screaming and follow the law, in majority. It work in Montréal
so its ok to cross the bus when lights are not flashing? new to driving hence curious. Confused about this since she mentions that its only 11 seconds which wont save any time, indirectly implying that when bus lights are not on, cars can pass the bus? But from other videos and handbook, I heard that you are not supposed to pass the bus PERIOD regardless of which direction you are going(unless you are separated by a median)
Yes, but watch out for children! Look in every direction. When you see those yellow lights, slow down to where it's easy to stop when the red lights are flipped on. Normally when the yellow lights are on, the kids are spotted /or bus plans on stopping to wait for children, so the reds can come on less than those 11 seconds or stay on longer. Staying vigilant will make this easier for you. Some places, even the other side of the median also has to stop - so research your state's law ( Your State DMV website) to find out exactly.
Yellow lights mean stop. Red lights mean stop under threat of law. I had a judge explain this to me when I "ran a yellow".
Yellow basically means make every effort possible to stop as long as doing so wouldn't cause immediate danger (like slamming on your breaks).
Going through a red means a ticket with absolutely no excuses, because you were required to stop for the previous yellow.
Don't know where that's the truth but the bus cameras are activated when the door opens and the door opens ( with the STOP signs, sometimes they're slow to come out) when there are red lights flashing.
I do this daily for multiple stops, attend state transportation mandatory classes x a year for more than 10 yrs.
You just got caught in some replay issues, (and they couldn't be bothered to let you off the hook because they want your money) or the driver really did quickly open on you and you couldn't clear the bus..
What he did is basically recommended you to stop to avoid going back into his courtroom. @@aaronkoning7255 It sounds like you're talking about traffic lights though..
Yellow mean start slowing down you can still past yellow light if you can't stop in time@@aaronkoning7255
Huron Twp never passes up a chance to issue a ticket
Take the fine to a thousand dollars and a revoked license plus impound the car, You'll get their attention then.
Should be automatic jail time
Time to Judge Dredd I D I O T S
Students deserve the biggest break they should care about school students
I caught one today on my dash cam. I found the van a mile down the road and took still pictures of the drivers face. Stay tuned I am going to post it on here.
I agree five to ten thousand dollARS THAT WILL DETWR DETER THEM
A lot of drivers ignore school bus stop. I wish police officers to stay driving behind buses all time to catch them, and buses need to have automatic photographic copy of the driver's license when pass the stopping school buses!
DRIVER LICENSE SUSPENSION AUTOMATIC! the least…..
I still say the same nothing but revenue for the city. I think you lose your car for 3 months. That'll stop them from going around a bus.
How do we know they're kids
Do this in nyc
they should crack down on the drivers who turn into traffic and block lanes cause theyre in a bus
Long time problem on this incident? Effective changes to this incident only if school buses were being installed longer arm to all school buses stop signs. Extended arm almost similar to the length of the bus. I DON'T THINK DRIVERS ARE STILL IGNORING THE SAID SIGN❤
I know to always stop for the buses, but today something different happened. The kids didn’t exit the building yet, and I waited behind the bus for the stop sign to come out but it didn’t. I assumed it was just waiting for the kids to come out so I started to drive off and as soon as I was already passing it, it pulled out the sign and the driver honked at me like crazy. They should have pulled out the sign right away. I hope I don’t get a ticket, I have never seen them wait that long to pull out the stop sign and I just assumed it was waiting until the kids came out. As I was already passing I saw the kids starting to come out of the building but I didn’t intentionally pass the stop.
Bus driver should be allowed to stop in the middle of the street, diagonally for larger streets,

Where I live They do. Tell that stupid Governor! Get Tough America 🙏🇺🇸🪖
Oh my God
Immediate termination
$195!!! Make it $2,000 and loss of license for a year. Make it hurt.
Wish my city will come out again to ticket people. I have too many videos on my TikTok of cars passing my kids school bus when their red lights are flashing and stop sign is out
Let's Face The Truth! There's so many Stupid So Called Driver's Out there. Who need to Go back to Driving School.
@Arthur Ridus Truck Driver. There All over the country!
How about adding drivers running red lights to that list.
Absolutely! Running stop signs.
@Propaganda everywhere That's the Neighborhood communities Job! Don't always wait for the Cops.
Will they crack down on the cops doing it?
Cops can do it if responding to an emergency or pulling someone over
I have had drivers honk me for stopping for school buses!
I say we should go even more… like ticket, tow, seize and auction off the vehicle. If you can’t stop for school buses, you shouldn’t own a vehicle.
Same here. I also get honked at for pulling over for LEO and FD as well as not turning right on red when there is a sign that says not to. Don't care! Let them honk away as I just laugh at them.
Yep, same here, and those are the ones who also blow at you for coming to a complete stop at stop signs, red lights for right turns, and roundabouts. People are impatient and don't care about the safety of others.
And in Kansas the school buses block traffic for what seems like hours and you had better wait or else.
Seems like hours? It’s probably like a minute.
They should increase fines up 30,000 I don’t feel bad when dumbasses get hit by busses and trucks. I love how cars wanna blame us all the time I just tell the police look at the cameras on the truck. Should be 30,000 dollar fine plus 20 years in prison. It’s our kids lives at stake. Driving is getting worse. Me and friend said they should make every vehicle a Manuel transmission would eliminate a lot of bad drivers lmao😅
Here south Texas the people that do this is usually illegals driving and people that over stayed their visas that never assimilated.

Stupid law. Most of the time theres not even a kid there
Please shred your license if you feel a child's safety is less important than thirty seconds of your time.
czcams.com/video/pVyHSNu_pDY/video.htmlsi=XecLLeH4702pbWqd This driver thought the law was stupid too and killed 3 kids boarding their bus. Smh, a couple of seconds out your day is so hard.
People are tired of f________ school busts blocking and delaying traffic!!!! The f________ kids should be taught to watch out for themselves when getting on or off a f________ school bust!!!!!!
What are you on?
@@septasmlphilliesfan2825 ANGER!!!!!
Aww waaa! Only less then 2 minutes of your petty life from being held up. Piece of advice leave earlier to where you need to be. Learn some patience and to pick and choose your battles.
