Here is this months scenario:

Scenario # 2
 It is a  bitter cold winter day. We are on our way home, there are 35 children still on the bus. We have a flat tire on the right front side of bus. The driver has steered the bus off onto the shoulder of the road. Has quitened the children and called the contractor about the situation. He is sending another bus.
 
 
 
1. What is the first thing you should do?
     Remain seated, get quite & quiten others, listen for     drivers instructions.
2. Should we evacuate the bus in this situation?
   Why or Why not?
  No, we are out of the road and in plain view of passing traffic. Our flashers are also on alerting other drivers there is a problem.
3. Who makes that decision? Why?
   Driver, they are aware of all regulations and procedures to follow.
4. If we do evacuate, which exit or exits should we use?
    If we did evacuate, we would use the front door in an orderly fashion.

   100 feet away from the bus and the shoulder of the road.
6. If you get off the bus what should you do?
    a. take all belongings, as you may be taking another bus.
    b. go straight to designated area
    c. stay in designated area and await further instructions
    d. count all students including yourself
 
7. What should you NOT DO in this situation?
     a. Do not return to bus until told by driver to do so.
     b. Do not leave designated area for any reason.
 

While checking out the web for more ideas I ran across these pictures of buses and I thought what if I put them on here and give you the chance to see if you can figure out what may have happened? Number one it will make you realize accidents do happen, #2 what could have caused it, and most importantly what would you have done? You can help me make some new scenario's as well.  THIS IS NOT HERE TO SCARE ANYONE! REMEMBER NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT IN ANY OF THESE PICTURES! IT IS MERELY TO EDUCATE YOU AS WE ARE EDUCATED EACH AND EVERY YEAR. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN TO US ALL. WE JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO ALLOW THEM EVEN ONCE, OUR CARGO IS FAR TO VALUABLE AND THAT IS WHY WE TRAIN AND WORK SO VERY HARD EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY TRIP TO PREVENT THEM. HAVE YOU HEARD FROM YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY PERHAPS ABOUT DEFENSIVE DRIVING? WELL BUS DRIVER'S HAVE DONE THAT SINCE THE BEGINNING.
