A few months back, I wrote a piece for OpenFile Halifax on drivers passing school buses while their red lights are flashing.

When the lights are flashing, kids are getting on or off the bus, so it’s obviously an extremely dangerous practice. In the video above, you’ll hear a school bus driver and manager talking about the problem, as well as a mother who watched as her son was nearly cut down by a car zooming past the bus. (Full disclosure: the mother and child are my partner and son.)

I was shocked when I first heard this was a problem, and I naively hoped it might get better. But I ran into Sharalyn Boudreau — she’s the bus driver in the video — last week, and she told me that the problem has become a lot worse. It boggles my mind. I just hope nobody gets killed.
