Update on School Bus Passing Laws
In recent months, the topic of illegal passing of stopped school buses has dominated the news and the industry. During the month of May, ABC News highlighted two instances of illegal passing, one in Ohio and another in Minnesota. In the case of the Ohio accident, the student was lucky to escape with minor injuries. However, in the case of the Minnesota accident, the child remains in critical care in the hospital. Most, if not all, school bus operators are able to recount instances in which their buses have been illegally passed while they were stopped to board or discharge students. This article will review the different state statutes in place and the range of penalties relating to illegal passing, along with recent efforts to address this critical issue.
