Letter: Concerned for School Bus Stop Safety

To the Editor

To the Editor:

I am a seventh grade student at Kilmer Middle School. My bus stop is at the corner of Georgetown Pike and Falls Bridge Lane in Great Falls. I am concerned about the safety of my bus stop and the other people that cross the road. Recently, when the bus driver stops to pick me up cars will often continue to speed past the bus. This even happens when my bus driver puts out his stop sign and turns on the lights. My bus driver tries to attract the attention of the driver, by honking his horn on the bus, to let them know that they shouldn’t be passing the bus at this time. Even though they have all of those warnings, the drivers constantly pass my bus at bad times.
