Seven year old Dalton Folwell was struck and killed in Winston-Salem when a driver passed his stopped school bus. Let them know they must stay alert as they board the bus in the morning and when they leave the bus in the afternoon. The danger to the children is not on the buses-it is at the bus stop. And the danger comes from motorists who either are not paying attention or do not know what the law is. Failure to stop for a stopped school bus will result in five points on your driver license.
Parents can also remind their children to wait for the bus to stop before crossing the street.
Once the bus has stopped, children should look both ways before crossing the road. Our goal is to educate parents, students and motorists while making North Carolina school bus safe.
