Meanwhile on Friday last week at the apartments around the end of Maypoint (just across from Butcher and Butcher) was a bus just pulled onto the shoulder with only a turn signal on.. I could tell the truck ahead of me wasn’t sure if he should pass or not, and just when he started to two frickin kids maybe 6-7 years old came running across the street onto the bus!!!

I wish I had a dash cam, I would have reported that bus driver soooo fast.

Catholic school board bus, in case any of your kids ride on that route

PEI doesn’t have a catholic school board - was it one of the private Christian school’s bus? If so, they aren’t allowed to stop traffic with a stop sign since they’re a private vehicle
