Stop for the Sign

Winchester's school bus drivers are saying they're seeing a rise in drivers going through their stop signs.

Some tell us at least three or four drivers run their stop signs a week.
School bus drivers can turn in the violators to the police, but they tell us, there isn't always time to watch the kids and catch the license plate number.

Nancy Grimes, Winchester Public School's Bus Driver, says, "They just don't realize the danger it is when the children are trying to cross the streets to go into their homes. They don't realize it's a danger when they run the school bus signs."

Local police send patrol cars on the school bus route, and have even sent officers in school buses to ride along and look for offenders.
