Right on ccs1920, I have told them to slow down and the driver was basicly rude. The drivers are inconsistant, rude and all around bad drivers. I see them speeding, running stop signs and lights, and driving with students standing up. And yes they make way more than minimum wage!!!

I wonder if it is the same school bus that travels 40-45mph in a 25mph zone on Castalia Drive, in Cary, around 3:00pm every school day?

Z man you seem to know a lot!! Are you a spy for the school system? Where I live the drivers make more than minimum wage, 10-16 per hour. Glad no children were hurt.

Fact: the speed limit in that direction on Walnut street is 35 MPH - there's a sign well before where the wreck occurred. Fact: the bus hit a tree with enough force to crush the front of the bus, knocking out the windshield and flatten the tree. Fact: There were 40 foot skid marks there this morning when I drove bye. Fact: there have been 5 bus wrecks in Wake county in the last 5 weeks. How many facts do I need?

Or maybe Zman...something cut her off. Do you really need to insult bus drivers without any facts?
