Safety First

When you’re driving please please be aware
of those walking or with a pushchair.

Watch for elderly who may be slow
and for cyclists not wearing day glo.

Stick to speed limits and never race
and keep a wide smile on your face!

Eve Roper Date: 8/4/2023 10:54:00 AM Great advice. But I've seen some bus drivers that are not as cautious, just anxious to drop of the kids. Good luck my friend Login to Reply Eve Roper Date: 8/7/2023 8:14:00 AM I've been on the school bus for field trips many times and it got pretty noisy. Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:05:00 AM true Eve, but safety first I guess and having seen the behaviour of kids inside school I am sure the driver's can't wait to get rid of some of them! hugs Jan xx

Good reminders for everyone, Jan. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:04:00 AM I don't know how they cope especially seeing the behaviour of the kids inside school! hugs jan xx
