It’s hard to believe another year has passed and we are on to 2026. By the time you read this article, the yellow buses will be back on the streets, and we will have to be on the lookout for children crossing the streets and getting off the buses.
The law says cars must stop when the buses brake or stop to let on or off students. A lot of motorists disobey this law, especially if it is a four-lane highway. Why?
