Why is this very OLD person driving a school bus???

[HenryBHough]

Granted...but when our DoD is sending geezers into combat zones, I'm afraid our security trumps the school bus concerns

OTOH it's DoD ageisnm that prevents almost all willing and able "geezers" from helping Muslim Terrorists from getting their 72 virgins. Few of us look young enough to get past their prejudice.

I personally know several seniors who drive school buses part-time. The ones who are stone deaf seem to enjoy it most. One, today, reflected on the story and said he had so far resisted the temptation to do something similar to a deserving rider.

So far.

Well, did she make it to school on time?

This isn't the first time that I have heard/read about a kid being dragged by a school bus driver. This is however the first time that I have heard/read about a kid living to tell about such an experience. The child who wasn't as lucky, I don't know how old their school bus driver was.

God bless you and their family always!!!

P.S. How long has this 78 year old guy been a school bus driver?

I wasn't sent INTO a combat zone, and you've been corrected on that before. And you were also warned to stop talking ABOUT another poster. And I'd rather be with an honest 69 year old in a combat zone, than a dishonest young person.
BTW, you see the picture of Harriet Thompson who (at 92 years of age) ran for 7.5 HOURS in a 26 mile marathon (in Post # 36) ? You think you could do it for 7.5 MINUTES ?

PS - right now at 69, I can play 4 musical instruments, all on a professional level. How many can you play ? (even amateurish)
PPS - Chuck Berry was still playing concerts up to a year ago (at age 88) and Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr still play concerts (all are in their 70s)

Check out this video of 72 year old Mick Jagger singing & jumping all over the stage. LOL.

There are Dimocrats ready to vote for a guy (Bernie Sanders) that would be 75 entering the White House and taking the reins of the most powerful position in the world, so this is no big deal.

in nc.....school buses do not have seat belts.....that is more concerning to me than the age of the driver

we lived in sc during the mid 80's and kids 15 years old were allowed to drive school buses

Is that you protectionist?

 

[initforme]

Perhaps if the bus company paid more they wouldn't be forced to hire drivers like this. Cheap cheap.

 

[airplanemechanic]

I've heard of having to drag kids to school but this is just going too far.

 

[Gracie]

And here we have a 24 year old, DRUNK, driving kids to and from school in a bus.

How speshul. Who hires these morons? Other morons?

School bus driver taking 28 students home arrested on DUI

 

[whitehall]

We live in a litigation world. Federal, state and local regulations say that a 78 year old with a clean driving record is authorized to drive a school bus. If you don't like it get off your asses and change the rules.

We all took the bus without seat belts and turned out just fine.

You know what feeble responses look like when the poster has been trounced, and has nothing to say ? They just throw out one word. Now you know.

Now THAT is scary.

Not hardly. My videos have me playing my guitars, mandolins, and violins in them. You know - those musical instruments that you couldn't play, even if your life depended on it ?

6-year-old's pants, shoes shredded after school bus drags her for mearly a mile

Bus driver is 78 years old! He didn't know she was dangling from the damn door? This is just crazy.

Retirement is a killer but if anyone feels horrible, it's the driver I'm sure. This is probably the end of of that.

Are you in the right mind ? Just asking.
