AUSTIN -- As the school year
starts, the Department of Public
Safety reminds motorists to slow
down around schools and to watch
for children who may be exiting
school buses. Drivers also should
be aware that children may cross
streets without watching where
they're going.
"The first few days of school, it's
easy to be distracted," said Col.
Thomas A. Davis Jr., director of
tfye DPS. "Make sure you're paying
Mention when you're driving, espg-
cmlly in and around school zones or
near school buses. You don't want
to become pert of a tragedy. •
More than 1.3 million Texas
children a day ride school buses,
which continue to be the safest
form of highway transportation -
fewer than 1 percent of traffic
in the state involve them,
most common time for coi-
ns is when school buses are
ing or unloading students. Ac-
ing to the National School Bus
ig and Unloading Survey,
fit children injured or killed
under the age of 10. All students
should be taught to follow safety
rules and to watch for traffic before
crossing streets.
Texas law forbids vehicles from
passing a school bus while its al-
ternately flashing red warning lights
are activated. Motorists can be fined
up to $1,000 for passing a school
bus while the warning lights are
activated. Subsequent violations can
lead to suspension of a driver li-
cense for up to six months. *
"Stopping for school buses is the
law. DPS has zero tolerance for
vehicles that pass stopped school
buses; if you pass a stopped school
bus, you will receive a ticket,"
Davis said.
In 1999-the latest year for which
statistics are available-two children
were killed in separate incidents
when they exited school buses in
Travis and Rusk counties.
' In other incidents across the state,
1,348 bus drivers or occupants were
injured in school bus crashes and 18
were injured while loading or un-
tile getting on or off buses are loading school buses.
