Why was a school bus going 68mph? Especially in the UK where much less time is spent on freeways.
She lives in Australia, so the crash may have happened there.
Yea I think its likely it happened there as the speed was given in kph, we still mostly use mph in the UK and I could be wrong as I’m not a parent but I’m not aware of “school buses” really being a thing here. We didn’t have them when I was a kid outside of coach services being brought in for school trips but that was quite some time ago.
Aren’t most of y’all’s schools typically within walking distance in your neighborhoods?
Not in rural areas.
Fair enough, I only ask because from everything I’ve seen if the UK, towns/villages and even smaller cities seem to be a lot more condensed and walkable than here in the states.
Yea generally, no real need for them
I dunno. Growing up in the 1980s, my school bus drivers did stuff that should have landed them in prison.
Like, none since there are no freeways in the UK.
Is the M1 not considered a freeway? I’ve never driven in the UK, only trains everywhere.
I’ve only heard them called motorways in the UK. It’s obviously pretty close to equivalent of course.
I don’t live in the UK but I do drive school bus and we go up to 70 on the freeway. Some districts limit to 60 but that can very often be more dangerous because of the traffic around.
