School Bus driver #303. I would not trust this driver with your kids or family members. He was speeding and almost collided with a transit bus, full of passengers. He did not stopping on a merge lane with flashing lights and cut off the bus. It was on the off ramp onto the hwy, towards Massey tunnel. I’m sure there is video on the off-ramp. I was shocked, at the end he decide to tailgate me when I took pictures. He should be fired.

Greetings,
The driver of bus 167 does not use the overhead amber (yellow) flashing lights correctly and instead of using them to warn the driving public that the bus is slowing to pick up or drop off students, he is putting them on when not dropping off or picking up.
I walk on the side of roads and he switches the yellow ‘bing bongs’ on when he drives past. This is not the correct use of those lights, sometimes he drives down the road with them on between stops. This is a case of the boy who cried wolf, drivers get accustomed to this and may drive past creating a possible disaster. If it is used when required, people may pass and strike a child not realizing this is now the real thing!
The point is, this driver and perhaps others should be instructed to use the lights solely for their intended purpose instead of making up their own rules and stating to me he was protecting me because I am on the wrong side of the road when in fact I always walk facing traffic which is correct. On other times, after driving away from picking up or dropping of, the red lights stayed on, indicating the door was not shut, another misuse of the lights and unsafe if a child falls out while moving.
Bottom line. I feel this and other drivers should be given precise instruction of the proper correct use of these lights.
