Do you really think the requirement for vehicles to stop for a stopped school bus, signaling that it is picking up or discharging school children as young as 5 years old, is one of those skewed smothering safety rules? Do you think that it is a skewed rule that just came about recently as a result of do-gooder safety nannyism? I think your observations on this issue are a bit skewed.
