Sadly three kids in our state have been hit and killed boarding school bus

this year, in two separate incidents.

One of the incidents was in our community so I’m seeing a lot of the press coverage. He didn’t even slow down for the bus and then left the scene after running over a kid. A witness followed him until the cops caught him. He’s now facing felony charges.

Glad you held your ground.

Based on your board name I have to ask ... were you driving the bus? ** -- vt90 12/08/2021 1:55PM

Rarely, friends don't let bozos drive. ** -- BusLoadaBozos 12/08/2021 4:08PM

According to the DMV Driver's Manual, you are correct -- Beerman 12/08/2021 12:06PM

Well done. Hey @JoesterVT ... here is a real diagram. I was the car on -- vt90 12/08/2021 12:14PM

Totally right. At an intersection, no one should be going anywhere when -- hoosnowahokie 12/08/2021 11:06AM

The best part is that Karen probably has some asinine "safety" issue she -- jmanatVT 12/08/2021 10:05AM

I love it when people in cars behind me go 'ape$hit'. -- FfxStationHokie 12/08/2021 09:27AM

I had a boss back in the day that had the perfect response to these -- HokieNerd 12/08/2021 11:05AM

…that’s my passive aggressive go to move as well ** -- chumley 12/08/2021 09:55AM

Actually, someone had just pranked her & told her that Pry had hired Stiney -- statmanfromHCyrs 12/08/2021 09:27AM

Any start to a day pissing off a Karen is a good day. ** -- Alan11 12/08/2021 09:20AM

Don’t second guess yourself; you are a true hero ** -- VT Pops 12/08/2021 09:09AM

Did I mention I was wearing two masks? Saving lives all over the place! ** -- vt90 12/08/2021 09:14AM

Ok...with the help of your diagram, I don't think you had to stop... -- JoesterVT 12/08/2021 09:05AM

Based on the DMV website it is unclear (shocker, right?). It says ... -- vt90 12/08/2021 09:10AM

Agreed on the err on the side of caution part, but technically... -- JoesterVT 12/08/2021 09:12AM

Exactly - that was my thought. Move it 30 feet and remove all confusion -- vt90 12/08/2021 09:15AM

Were you on a divided highway? The presence of a median affects the answer. -- Hokie CPA 12/08/2021 09:49AM

Nope. No median, just a double line - I know that part of the law ... -- vt90 12/08/2021 09:53AM

Better solution...just go full remote and park the busses! -- JoesterVT 12/08/2021 09:16AM

My house sits on a similar intersection in my neighborhood. A bus stop is -- Stork 12/08/2021 08:54AM

Always do whatever is safest for the kids ** -- HokieR 12/08/2021 08:46AM

You did the right thing. Aggravating somebody was your bonus. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 12/08/2021 08:43AM

I think I'm going to need a diagram ** -- JoesterVT 12/08/2021 08:42AM

OK -- vt90 12/08/2021 08:46AM

LOL yeah was thinking same...but I would just err on the side -- HokieNerd 12/08/2021 08:46AM

In many states passing a school bus is one of the few -- GreenvilleVT 12/08/2021 09:35AM
