School bus safety Although this is regarded as safe transport there are certain dangers , particularly before and after riding the bus.
It is important to remind children about safety on the street and on the school bus.
Primary school children in particular are at high risk of being hit by a
car when crossing the street because they: -Cannot judge the speed or distance of moving vehicles
-Are easily distracted and can focus only on one thing at a time
-Cannot determine the direction of sounds
-Have a visual field that is one-third narrower than an adult's
-Do not understand how much time and distance is necessary for a vehicle to stop
-Are hidden by parked cars and bushes Making matters worse, there is an increase in the number of pre-school children being sent to school programs on school buses.
