Spotlight On Safety !!!
Mon. Aug 30th 2010
Submitted By: Tabatha Haggerty-Turner
"School's In Session"
With School being back in session always remember to "Protect Our Children Obey All School Buses and Thier Sign's".
The West Virginia legislature has passed a tough new law that is aimed at avoiding or preventing child injuries when kids are on their way to and from school. Under the newly passed law, drivers in either direction who fail to stop when a school bus stops and flashes its warning lights may face felony charges and even prison time for the offense if someone is injured or killed due to their actions. A driver who causes an injury could face up to three years in prison; a driver who kills someone could be put in prison for up to ten years.
The law also increases fines for drivers who violate the school bus safety laws, and introduces the potential for a driver to lose his or her license - even if no one is injured. Drivers will have an extra incentive to use caution even when there is no police car in sight; the new law also allows counties to set up cameras on school buses to catch offenders on film.
