farcasterHigher vehicle hoods significantly increase pedestrian deaths, study finds
guyrocketWhat about school busses? They have very high hoods and many danger areas where the driver cannot see, right?
Schools buses are usually required a CDL to drive, and there are even more stringent checks required if you actually drive children around.
There is nothing stopping a just licensed 16 year old, or a repeat drunk driver from jumping behind the wheel of a huge truck or SUV and operating it in pedestrian-rich areas, with no oversight.
There’s also like 30 adults outside the school looking out for children who are being dumbasses. And when they’re not in the school they have those swingy arms to push them out of the way/give them a hint.
I believe they also have mirrors to see in front of the hood.
