My cousin apparently drove past one at the wrong time as it had just finished letting kids off as the stop sign was closing and boom.

It takes a picture of his car, plates, and 7 days later hes got a $700 ticket in the mail.

He tried to fight it due to the fact that the kids were long gone and the driver just sat there scribbling on a notepad but he lost.

Watch out baws.

I'm sure he was innocent. Tell him be more careful around the buses next time.

That's such an overreach. No one is better at theft than the government.

Hurts less than getting hit by your civic after being at school all day.

School buses aren’t scary. Drivers who drive past a bus with the stop sign out are scary.

Watch out for buses and kids, not tickets. I am sure that minute he saved was vitally more important than a kids life who was late getting off the bus.

So which is it? Aren’t you supposed to stop 40 feet or so from a bus while the signs are out anyway?

Maybe you wait until the bus starts to move again before going past it.

Why? Driving past a stopped school bus is one of the unforgivable traffic infractions, in my opinion. Your cousin deserved every bit of that $700 ticket.

So your cousin has magical powers that allow him to see through the bus to ascertain with 100% certainty that all the kids had left the bus?

Kids are prone to doing odd and impulsive things, like staying on a school bus for a while longer after everyone else has exited the bus.

Was your cousin in a hurry on his way to the lab to write down a mental rockslide he’d just had in order to cure cancer?

tl/dr: Your cousin deserves the ticket.

You’re an idiot for coming here to defend his shitty behavior.

So they have camera's to take pics of cars passing the bus but still no seatbelts for the kids?

The could give a frick about safety of the kids it's another government tax collection tactic.

eta: people should still be careful around buses and your cousin drives like an a-hole
