Not a surprise I've been cut off in my car by school bus drivers and even city bus drivers have almost hit me once them almost smashed my car with my mother in the passenger. They pretty much leave you with no way to complain but this is a continuous problem.
Driver should loose their license and be charged because as a cdl holder weither its a class A, B, or C we are trained to always be scanning making sure we don't hit anything forwards and back.
It's time to outlaw these assault busses. They aren't even protected by the second amendment.
My daughter, who is 15, attends Jordan High School. This is news that saddens us all. My wish is that God brings relief to the family of this teenager.
UPDATE: Police have confirmed that the victim was a 15-year-old girl who attended Jordan High School.
