I think they mean the STOP sign ON THE BUS. I understand (sort of) your sarcasm here, but the point of the legislation is to make penalties tougher on people who pass stopped school busses, who have the lights flashing and the stop sign out. Kids coming off these busses cannot see around them and if some idiot goes whizzing by one with a child coming around it, they are killed more than likely.
Frankly, I have NO problem with this whatsoever. Like someone else said, if you can't see the lights and big stop sign on a school bus stopped to pick up or let off a kid, you don't belong on the road.
Yes, I know. That's what I meant, too. A stop sign is a stop sign - they are well-covered by existing laws.
Since more laws make us more perfect, how many more laws will we have/"need" in the next 10 years? 20 years? 50 years?
Why don't we just go for perfection now, and pass 50 years of more laws all at once? It'll save money in the long run, and zillions of chilldruns too, no doubt.
More laws, more perfection! Because, obviously, our society was teetering on oblivion a few decades ago when we didn't have all the perfection-minded laws we have now.
Look, face it - a grieving politician's kid got mowed down, so all of a sudden this particular law became the most important thing in the entire universe. That's all.
