School zones

Denver Metro/Front Range has the worst drivers in the country, hands down

Can confirm. Boston, NYC, LA, DC… but Denver drivers take the cake.

You should drive through Corvallis, Montana when school is let out. Why can't kids ride the bus anymore? mtmuley

Same here. Wife insists on picking the kids up. I don't get it let em ride the bus. Hell I rode the bus and I was literally the first one on and the last one off every damn year.

I love Boston, cannot blame the drivers for not being the greatest as weird as the roads are there. I've been confused more than once by some of the intersections and merging situations

If you are obeying the speed limit but have an explicit bumper sticker that says F- Biden, is that ok?

Sooo they could probably only fit like 5-6 kids max on your bus anyway

Lmao, speaking of which my son has a whoppng total of 5 kids in his entire kindergarten grade next year. (standard size bus).

Just something I saw. Another example of societal disrespect.
Doesn't matter to me what name follows the F word.

I've seen bumper stickers, I've seen flags and signs in people's yards. Seems it's easy for people to express themselves that way these days. Not sure why. mtmuley

Small town dynamics...speeding through school zones usually still wearing pajamas with their stupid furry slippers.
I seen it.

That whole slow kids playing thing isn’t talking about the speed of the vehicle

I can't disagree. I've watched people run red lights with cops stopping at said light, no action taken. I think it's been like this since covid

I was waiting for some paperwork at the courthouse a couple weeks ago and could see/hear a bunch of traffic offenders (most of which were high-schoolers and their parents) meeting with the DA assistants a room nearby. One non-English-speaking guy was in there pleading down his citations, which were: 25mph over the speed limit, operating without insurance, and driving on a suspended license. His lawyer/interpreter was able to get the charges down to just 2 points on his license and a $150 fine, I was absolutely floored.

In Montana if you are elected Superintendent of Public Instruction you can pass stopped school buses.


Does that count?

Arntzen illegally passed a school bus at a stop in her neighborhood, report says

The state superintendent of public instruction said she wasn’t aware of the alleged violation.

montanafreepress.org

Montana’s top education official might need a safety lesson after she was fined for driving around a school bus.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen was slapped with a $100 fine Tuesday after she was cited for illegally passing a stopped school bus while students were getting on.

Arntzen pleaded no contest to the citation in Helena Municipal Court, meaning she didn’t admit guilt but wasn’t going to dispute the accusation, court records indicate.

Fine should have been larger but she did get a ticket.
