Cheltenham Township police is cracking down on illegal passing around school buses. Here's what to know.
A police department in Montgomery County is cracking down on illegal passing around school buses. Cheltenham Township police say they're fed up with close calls like these, even after putting in place a new high-tech system meant to bust those bad drivers and keep kids safe."Our message is very simple. When you see a school bus with red lights activated, stop. Children's lives are at stake. It's not difficult," said Lt. Andy Snyder of Cheltenham Township Police Department.
"This is a flagrant passing where a child was almost struck. You see a child passing in front of a car. If it hadn't been for the bus driver extending the arm to stop the car, it could have been tragic."The Cheltenham School District started using the BusPatrol automated cameras last October in an effort to keep students safe. Every bus is equipped with four to five cameras, along with a license plate reader.
