My bus driver said she needed to pee so she took us off route and stopped us at her friends house and went in to do so. Is that legal?

Asked by Nirv about 7 years ago

Personally it's not something i would have done but if she got permission from the bus company then ok? Personally, ive had to go to the bathroom before but ill ask a school administrator or employee to watch my bus while i go use the facilities.

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.

Why when I or somewhere else when a priority call goes out does no one shut the **** up?! They need to call, switch channels or figure it out theirselves. In a rare time when something happens they just don’t shut up! 56 is lost, 29 wants the principal, 67 is mad at another drive, 55 and 54 is having a conversation, 45 wants to know how to shut something off, and 27 is just bullshitting. I want to tell them to shut the F up but is not worth the write up. So how do I shut them up?!

Asked by The angry redneck over 6 years ago

First off that's hysterical because it seems the problem is everywhere. That happens in my district too. We even have multiple meetings and announcements on the subject but people still ignore policy. You should talk with your supervisor and see if he or she can make an announcement or have a refresher meeting.
