Flashing Lights .....not cool!

I am not sure when this practice started but it drives me CRAZY. Bus drivers who crack open the door to get the flashers going a mile before they stop to pick up kids.....

Every week I pass a school bus and almost every time they are picking kids up in the morning. The flashers are on.....and what do I do? I stop! Then the bus goes zooming by me and stops 1/4 mile down the road. I have stopped a few hundred feet before the bus passes me at times...

Hey Bus drivers....safety first,....but remember the boy who cried wolf. By putting your flashers on 1/2 mile before the stop drivers start to believe they can go through your moving flashing lights..... a dangerous situation.
