This has been a major peeve of mine since moving to Seminole County, Florida. The posted speed limit on our road is 35 mph. Almost every day I catch the school bus drivers doing at least 50 mph. They have no respect for the posted speed limit and no regard for the people and animals that live on our road.
We live in a rural area but it is still residential. Every day the road is frequented by walkers, bikers, horseback riders. The school buses are a hazard to people and pets. A few years ago, one of our old dogs was hit early in the morning - I suspect it was the school bus. Of course, no one stopped or reported the accident. Just left me to find the dog dead on the road.
Our country is focused on the danger our children face when a gunman enters a school property. Yet, there's no mention of the danger our children face every single day when they ride the school bus. There are no seat belts, the driver's don't obey the rules of the road, and the kids are subject to bullying.
Seminole County schools, please monitor your drivers and protect our children.
