With late summer and fall upon us remember to obey the school bus unloading rules where you live. While returning from the Region IV Operating Committee Meeting in Atlanta, I stopped for school bus on a two lane road with its red lights blinking and waited for several students groups of students to cross the road. Unfortunately, a driver behind me decided to pass me on the right (grass side of the road) and cut between two groups of students walking across the road. Luckily no students were hit but it could have been much worse as any student who would have been hit would have been severely injured or killed.
Be careful and safe out there in your daily travels.
Thomas Ten Eyck, CSP
Chapter President
