POLICE RECEIVE REPORTS OF DRIVERS NOT STOPPING FOR SCHOOL BUS
(SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY, ON) – The South Bruce OPP has been receiving reports of drivers failing to stop for a loading/unloading school bus.
The areas of concern reported to police most recently are bus stops along Bruce County Road 20 and stops around the Village of Tiverton. The offence of failing to stop for a school bus carries a fine of $490 and six demerit points.
With full-day Kindergarten programs established in area schools, students as young as four years old can travel to and from school on a bus. These young students depend on adults to keep them safe. Failing to stop for a school bus carries a stiff penalty, but the consequences can be far greater if a small child is hit by a vehicle.

The vehicle was stopped and the driver, a 66-year-old Arran-Elderslie Township woman, was charged with fail to stop for red light.
The penalty for this offence is a $325 fine and three demerit points, but the consequences can be far worse if you become involved in a collision.
