OK, I'm in.....

I had the biggest scare of my bus driving career. Here I am 40 ft. of YELLOW metal on wheels (and headlights on) going down the street and out from a side street comes this little compact car, with a not so smart driver in it, and runs his stop sign and crosses right in front of me at about, Oh I'd say less than 20 ft. from my front end. People just don't realize that it takes a bus a ways to stop. they just don't stop the second you put on the brake. the worst part that got me mad was that he was smiling about it. I thought to myself "you wouldn't be smiling to pretty if you were pinned right under this bus. I had to hit my brakes so hard and apply my emergency brake to stop in time. the poor kids went sliding off their seats. Luckily they were middle school and bigger than the little ones.

So I have to go along with ....poor drivers make me irritated!!
