Texas DPS To Aid In School Bus Safety
THE RIO GKANDE HERALD
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1*71
PAGE I
lieutenant Vernon Cawthon,
commanding officer of the
Valley's Highway Patrol Force,
stated that drivers in the Rio
Grande Valley could expect to
see a Highway Patrol car in the
vicinity of school buses that are
loading or unloading school
children.
The action is becoming
necessary due to the large
number of complaints from the
bus drivers themselves.
Lieutenant Cawthon said "We
have been lucky up to this point
that we have not had more close
calls than we have already
recorded. The couple of kids
that have been struck have paid
the price for an adult driver's
laxity in their driving habits".
Lieutenant Cawthon went on
to state that bus drivers from
all over were beginning to turn
in license plate number of those
drivers who were habitually
passing a stopped school bus
and if the only way to get those
drivers to stop is to have a
patrol car moving about the
vicinity then you better believe
that patrol car will be there.
Obviously there are far more
school buses than patrol cars so
a rotating schedule will be set
up. The point is drivers who are
failing to stop for these kids will
never know when a patrol car
will be in the vicinity of what
bus.
Texas law requires a driver to
stop and remain stopped for a
school bus that has stopped on
or near the road to pick up or
discharge school children. The
law applies both inside and
outside of a city limit and
whether a driver is meetinu or
approaching the stopped school
bus from the rear.
The only exception is a driver
who is meeting a stopped school
bus on an expressway or
divided highway because that
driver is on a separate road-
way. A driver of another vehicle
who has stopped in compliance
with the law must remain
stopped until the school bus
moves or the overhead flashing
lights are turned off. Lieutenant
Cawthon also urged all drivers
to be especially watchful during
that time of day when school
buses will be on the highway.
"Inattention to the business of
driving is a most dangerous
thing and often the mistakes
made by an inattentive driver
are fatal".
The way it is now the kids
have to take care of themselves
by waiting until some driver
who is not paying attention, or
does not care, to pass before
crossing the street or highway.
It is getting pretty bad when
school children have to take
care of the drivers on the
roadway.
