Every year, over 100 children lose their lives while walking to school, with another 25,000 sustaining injuries. Shockingly, half of the 31 pedestrians fatally struck while boarding a bus are kids aged five to seven. It’s a staggering reality—that children face such dangers on their way to school.
Understanding the Issue
So, what’s the underlying issue? It’s not the bus drivers; it’s the behavior of other motorists. Drivers speeding through school zones, distracted by their phones, texting, or simply ignoring their surroundings pose a grave risk. Many even disregard the flashing lights and extended stop arms of school buses. This not only breaks the law but creates a perilous environment for our children.
Using Humor to Raise Awareness
Inspired by the classic tune “Bust a Move,” I thought it was the perfect foundation to convey this urgent message. How could I resist a catchy line like, “It’s big and yellow, you say, ‘Hello, come pick up my kids you fine fellow,’” when singing about a school bus? I simply couldn’t!
It’s crucial to raise awareness about this pressing issue. Please share this video and remind everyone that school is back in session, with kids walking and boarding buses. Encourage drivers to stay alert, and remember, if you see a bus—DON’T MOVE!
