Adjusting school bus mirrors to increase safety
School buses are the safest way to transport children to and from school.
The federal government updated rules for school bus mirrors in 1998 to enhance the field-of-view around buses. Proper use of mirrors reduces blind spots for school bus drivers, keeping children safer. Before driving, you must adjust the bus's mirrors.
Always take the time to actually LOOK at the reflected image in the mirror and to SEE what is there.
