Ottawa installs cameras on school buses to catch drivers breaking the law

During an announcement on Thursday, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson described the new program as the first of its kind in Ontario and a warning to motorists.It’s illegal for vehicles to pass a stopped school bus in both directions when the bus’s red lights are flashing. Although this law is nothing new, Watson said he still sees drivers ignore the rule.Under the new system, school buses will be installed with four cameras mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

“Many drivers don’t realize the safety concerns that come with not stopping for school buses, and that’s something we hope this program will address to make our streets safer for schoolchildren,” Watson said in a press release.

How about installing integrity and pride vs 1984?
