“Motorists face a penalty of six points against the licence and $394.50 (first offence) for illegally passing a school bus.”
School Bus Safety Awareness week is extremely important in this town where incidences of vehicles passing school buses illegally while picking up or dropping of their kids are extremely high and frequent. I am pretty happy to know that the fine for the first offence alone is so high because motorist needs to take care of the children on the bus. Last year alone, we’ve seen so many incidences happening with the school children and school buses. It is too frightening to let your kids go onto those buses.
By the way, in Canada.. school buses are free to use for kids attending school all over the province, unlike in Asia, we do not have to pay for transportation. Pretty cool eh..?
