I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.

Can you eat and drive

Asked by Dj about 7 years ago

Yes, though generally if I have to eat and drive I choose easy stuff like chicken nuggets or something that isn't messy and I can deal without having much on it.

Have you ever had to delete a rude, dumb, troll, and/or irrelevant question?

Asked by Johnson over 7 years ago

Yep.

Okay then who do you think some drivers think that it is a good tactic to scare and intimidate students?

Asked by Job about 7 years ago

Control. There are many different ways to exert control over a bunch of kids. Some people do it through intimidation and scare tactics. I prefer a more practical approach. Treat them like I want to be treated.

One more sorry for posting so much. Do you think amber strobes can cause confusion and make drivers think the bus is stopping?

Asked by Dave over 7 years ago

Thats why all the strobes ive seen are white. The student lights do strobe on their own on newer buses for visibility reasons.

Whoops sorry I asked so many questions I did not think it went through

Asked by Kimberly over 6 years ago

That's okay!

What would happen if you pulled the parking brake at 60 MPH?

Asked by Jonsnsnsjsksk over 7 years ago

The bus makes a beeping noise and it engages slowly to slow the bus down.

Why do you think your question volume has gone up? You used to get a question maybe once a week sometimes now it is like sometimes multiple times a day.

Asked by Roberta over 7 years ago

Because you asked this question.
