My kid gets picked up on a 100kph undivided highway, in a dip, and there's often fog. Forgive me for thinking that you are whining about something that is completely ridiculous.
 There's a light on the school bus. It shouldn't be there because there are no seatbelts? Seriously, I can't even believe this is a discussion. Heading back into the shadows. |
Given my first hand account responding to traffic accidents, and the moth effect especially when it comes to drunk drivers, yes I would say the flashing white light is incredibly dumb, and yes you can't convince me it's for safety. I used the lack of seatbelts as an example.
It's so they can pretend they're doing something about safety because it's cheap, while ignoring the fact that school busses are not designed with safety in mind, and actually doing something that would be effective would cost too much money. It's not about safety, it's just about placating the Helen Lovejoys of the world

Yeah, what do I know, I only stand on the road at night during emergencies. I probably don't know a thing about flashing lights

I wouldn't consider it an argument myself. Just people talking. No need to get upset
