Bus Speed

I am not the slowest driver in the world, but I am especially careful on residential streets. A friend told me about a school bus traveling down a certain Montgomery block at a relatively high rate of speed every day about the same time...so today I stationed myself in a driveway and waited. Sure enough...right on schedule...2:35pm...here comes the bus more or less barreling down the street. A message to---of all people---school bus drivers--especially the one in this bus! SLOW DOWN! This is a residential street with a marked 30mph limit. Children live on it!

    It'd be cheap enough to borrow a radar gun from one of the local little league teams to clock the bus next time it comes through.

    That way, it'd be kinda' hard to disprove.

    While the bus' speed could be calculated from a fixed position on video tape, the fact that the video camera was panning doesn't help.

    Tim, did you report this to the school system officials?
