THP Warns about Speeding past school bus signs

The Tennessee Highway Patrol reports more drivers are speeding past school bus stop signs already this school year.
Sgt. Alan Bailey with THP says with more than 12,000 buses on Tennessee roads multiple times a day troopers with THP are concerned.
State law requires all vehicles to stop unless roadways are separated by a median or barrier.
Some school buses are now equipped with video cameras to catch violators in the act. THP is also stepping up patrols and riding inside school buses to dispatch back up when drivers speed by.
Stop signs on school buses should be treated the same as any other traffic signal on the road.
Passing a school bus is considered a Class A misdemeanor, which can result in points against your driving record and up to $1,000 in fines plus court fees.
