OK, So I becamse a School bus driver like 5 months ago and have seen so many whooops stories it's not even funny. I figure it might be a good place for us BD's to tell some stories. But...If the mods think it should go somewhere else, that's fine. Not that I can do anything.
So, My favorite at the moment wasn't an accident, just a jerk. I was pulling in to the High school in the morning to drop off the kiddies. When we drop off/Pick up we pull diagnolly across the one way drive in the rear of the school. NO parents allowed, just Staff. So, I pull up and notice this nice Jaguar coming toward me in the road, just before the road turns into a one way. I kept going and didn't back down (It's a one way remember) then pulled across the road like I do every day, blocking the road completely (it's a safety thing).
He came up closer to my bus and looked as though he was going to try and make it past me. He stopped, I'm pretty sure he tried to tell me something, but I was making sure the kids were getting off saftely (it's my job). So, he backs up to the entrance of the staff parking lot, which is in the middle of our bus circle/Oneway area. As he turns in the parking lot, He flips me the finger (nothing out of the ordinary) and pulls into the other oneway road and pulls across, blocking the whole road. I finish dropping off the kids (he he he. Not those kids. Actual ones) and start to turn around which brings me to mr Jaguar.
He stays thier for a while and then jets off. He was kind enough to wait along for me to get his LIcense plate. YAY! I turned him in . The cops couldn't do anything, but It made my day. His car was registered to a news station around town. People like that frustrate me. The think they know everything about driving but don't. I could go into a rand about what BD's go through and how much we actually have to know, But I'll spare it.
So, let's hear it.
