Now I'll explain this to you since you need to go back to school and take a reading comprehension course. In a nut shell it says a few seconds after the light turned green the stopped school bus (not moving, sitting still etc.) was hit in the rear end. (the back end of the bus) Which means it was not his fault.(He did not do it)
The driver of the Kia, Madison Brooks, 23, of Newark, was not injured. She was issued a traffic summons for inattentive driving and failing to have insurance identification in possession. This last statement above means the women who was driving the vehicle who hit the bus was charged.
Now please tell me what the bus being hit and the drive not charged with anything have to do with The bus drivers should have annual review in driving. Please tell me why so that I may understand. Thank you so very much Sheamus
