Summer break is almost over for Ohio students - and for many, the upcoming journey to and from school will require trips on a school bus. That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to pay attention and be alert for stopped school buses.
"Although drivers of all vehicles are required to stop for a school bus when it is stopped to load or unload passengers, children should not rely on them to do so," said Colonel Paul Pride, patrol superintendent. "Children exiting the bus should always stop and look both ways before crossing the street and remain alert to any sudden traffic changes."
