Convenience stores these days usually have some decent pull toys if you know what to look for:

I’m wiring them a billion dollars and will call Ken Block & his Hoonigan team.

Even a head on collision is shared fault here based on paragraph 3 regardless who crossed the line. Though that only means no one is going to jail.

I know. There aren’t really “school buses” as such over here though. Slowing down when a bus is stopped in the middle of road like that is kinda implied with paragraph 3 though. You are expected to understand these things if you have a driver’s license.

There are dedicated school buses here as well, but they look (And are) exactly the same as normal buses only with “School bus” in the info panel up front. No lights, no “Stop” signs. This bus appears to just have the normal route number displayed in the rear display and doesn’t appear to be a dedicated school bus.…

Same instructions where I grew up in Australia too.

Living in the US now I see kids just run out into the street because traffic is assumed to be stopped in both directions. The whole stopping thing is especially irritating as they will stop every 100m because apparently people can’t possible walk any further than that.

The US is one of the only countries with actual school buses. Most of the rest of the world uses regular buses that run school routes morning and afternoon and then regular duties elsewhere.

Thank you for clarifying this!

Most Americans have no understanding that socialism and communism are two different types of political systems, nor what those differences are.

Fy faen i helvete! is, I believe, the done thing to say in the circumstances. Or just Faen! if you don’t have time.

Kids in Norway -and most other places - travel in what are or were regular commuter buses. If they’re dedicated school buses they may carry stickers showing the fact but other than that you can’t easily tell if a bus is ferrying kids around or not.

It’s both a standard bus and a school bus - most places don’t have special school buses. Kids either go on a regular commuter bus or a former one that’s been cascaded to school duties.

And now for an anecdote:

It certainly is. As a fellow countryman of mine pointed out in another comment here, there are stickers on buses saying “Do not cross the road the bus has passed”.

Everyone should be considerate and be alert and careful so that there is no danger or injury

That’s also why you should teach all drivers to proceed very cautiously around stopped buses.

“everyone should be considerate and be alert and careful”

There aren’t really any rules regarding passing a stopped bus here apart from them having the right of way if they are pulling out of a bus stop if the speed limit is 40-ish mph (60 km/h) or less.

Great video. Modern day WRC is as good as Rally has ever been. Different, yes. But still just as good.

Don’t forget the final round of the World Rallycross Championship Sunday morning
