Tony Clifton Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Is there no end to these tragedies. Maybe it is time that the roads were policed in a proper manner.My deepest sympathies to all. That would first require a proper police force where each individual wouldn't be concerned about personal gain and profit while on duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Perhaps it would help if these "school convoys" did NOT have a police escort, encouraging high speeds with disregard for other road users........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oevna Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Perhaps it would help if these "school convoys" did NOT have a police escort,encouraging high speeds with disregard for other road users........... Perhaps I missed something, but I don't see where it says that the bus had a police escort. Are you talking about other incidents where a police escort was somehow involved?

JetsetBkk Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Police said the bus lost control while running downhill Buses do not "lose control". The driver loses control of the bus due to, but not limited to: Brakes - poor maintenance, going too fast - poor driver, not in low gear - poor driver, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
