Re: lucky to be alive!!

I wonder if they will make school buses install those lowered bumpers like they did on the semi trailers.

Probably all that legalized weed out there. I'm shocked that the driver is still alive.

sounds like a good idea........... but even the ones on the trailers don't stop the cars from going underneath!

Re: lucky to be alive!!

I wouldn't want them but there is a big difference between my bus that might get 1000 miles per year and a school bus putting on 20-40 thousand inner city miles.
