School bus driver is an idiot
This is in the local news. I bus driver has a railroad crossing arm rest on the bus as a front runner train goes by. Dumbass.

He did as he was told. A bad crossing reading comprehension would help some.

I"m tell you all just exactly watt went on, I went through screwal bus training up north in Monkey Co. Faryland, just outside Wash DC.....thought it'd be a easy fill in job.....uhhhh.....NOOOOOOO......
but as to pertains to this incident it's NOT the driver's fault.....the laws where I was stated that the bus had to stop at every RR crossing, look both ways, but in order to see 1/2 the time you need have the nose close to the track, just like at stupid stop signs and plants/poles/trees/bushes/fences overgrowing the corners, need pull out to see WTF if anything is coming ...... same shit, so he pulls out, stops, maybe pulls forward, to see for sure, and the damn gate comes down, so he panicks for a nanosecond and the train doing 100 mph comes past before he can get it into reverse...... NOW if he had better vision, like for the stop sign intersections, and could keep it in motion without stoping unless the lights/gate were in action....welll DUHHHHHHH......there would not have been an issue......ASSuming the RR gear did not fail on the altert/gates......witch is why trimming crap and ensured visibility is important, not trying to take a chance by accelerating some stupid buss/truck/balky CAR, whatever over the damn RR tracks.... THAT and tons of other stupid rules and crap is why I quit that job before ever riding/driving alone with kids.....trainer was always with me.....this all took place about 30 years ago..... and when my daughter found out I was taking screwal buss operators training, she about SHIT......probably because of all the shit the kids typically raised on the buses...... |

Happy to say GWiz never rode a school bus a single day in her life. Drivers are not typically the most astute drivers.

I guess I'm in the minority not seeing the issue. The driver did what they're supposed to do. Then decided they were close, yes, but not gonna smash up the arm or scratch the hell outa the bus to move since they decided (correctly I might add) that there was room and it was ok.

I finally understand AND agree with a Mrvette post, and it's this thread.
+1 for the driver did nothing wrong. Had he backed up the schoolbus and hit the guy behind him, he would have had all sorts of problems. |

Sure, Elon Musk along with others is pimping the idea and the idiot media, especially anything to do with NBC is helping. I am sure they are successfully Hoovering up sappy investors and subsidies. When my phone or computer crashes, nobody dies. You cannot say the same about an 80,000 driverless truck going down the road. |
