Precious Cargo

Editor, Times-Union:

I have been hearing radio conversation, including my own, of cars running school bus stop arms on Ind. 13 between Pierceton and Syracuse. In one event, a car passed the bus on the door side where kids enter and exit. How scary is that?

When a bus has its yellow lights flashing, it is ready to stop. You need to stop also and not speed up to avoid stopping. Not even an emergency vehicle is allowed to run the red lights. What makes you think you are better and it's OK to run the red lights and flashing headlights? Will it be worth killing or hurting a child by not stopping?

Some of you talk on your cell phone while driving, as well as putting on makeup on reading a map and etc.

Thing about the "precious cargo" getting on or off the bus and stop.
