Don’t Pass A School Bus Sticker Boosts Safety in Manitoba
Six year old Hilary Bolton and about 50,000 Manitoba motorists are urged to display bumper stickers during School Bus Safety Week October 2 to 8. Autopac and the Departments of Highways and Education distribute the stickers to promote school bus safety, especially in rural areas. The reminder targets drivers not to pass a school bus from any direction when red lights flash, as 65,000 students ride over 2,000 buses daily. Most injuries occur in loading and unloading areas due to violations of the law.
