Missouri Toughens School Bus Safety | Jefferson City News

Missouri’s cracking down hard on drivers who ignore school buses—new law slaps $1,000 fines and possible license suspensions for first offenses, with felony charges if injuries occur. Despite a slight uptick in bus-related crashes last year (thanks to fewer injuries and deaths), officials are alarmed by how often drivers zip past stop arms. Parents and bus drivers live in fear of kids crossing streets as cars barrel toward them. The message?
