Cheer Squad
As a kid who took the bus to and from school every day, I saw plenty of schoolbus-related rule breakers. One frequent example was of cars that wouldn’t acknowledge a stop sign that swings out from the side of a school bus. This sign allows children to cross roads safely.
On one glorious occasion, as the sign swung out and assumed a visible position, a bright red car swerved a bit to the left to avoid the sign and zoomed past it. The road we were on was very busy and in the middle of town, meaning cars and pedestrians were everywhere.
One of the nearby cars was a police car.
Its lights began shining brightly and the sirens roared along with the cheers of those of us who remained on the bus. The police stopped the car that had endangered our lives, and we screamed out of delight for justice as we passed them.
One of the officers tipped his hat towards the bus and winked. In that moment, we believed him to be the greatest being on Earth.
The driver of the car that had wrongfully passed us likely received no less than a $500 fine and the loss of several demerit points. He also gets to remember the victory cries of about twenty or so kids on a bus. Story credit: Reddit / weatherstorm
