The militant stop for schoolbus story grinds my gears. We don't stop for city buses. Why aren't we teaching children to be defensive and preparing them for the real world. Cross the road when there are no cars. Wait on the side of the road that the bus actually stops at. When a bus stops and I see a kid jump out the door and sprint full throttle in front of the bus and across the opposite lane without so much as a glance I think to myself yikes we are putting a lot of faith in people stopping for flashing red lights. Fortunately drivers in my area (Detroit Metro) are all in a hurry and seem to want symbiosis with the rest of traffic. They stop and start almost instantly. Kids don't lolly gally. But when I lived in Northern Virginia, it was the opposite. Bus drivers really took liberty with blocking the road for WAY longer than necessary.
