Police rear-ends school bus...."possible $85 fine and 2 demerit points"

[Mr. Burns]

Unsafely starting from a stopped position. What makes you think he was travelling at a decent speed?

either the officer hammered it off the line to achieve that kind of damage, OR....

eyes simply were not pointed in the direction of travel...ie: distracted by mobile device/onboard PC.


If this was anyone else, I can assure you there wouldn't be a "possible" $85 fine and "possible" 2 demerit point.

it'd be the EXPECTED $400 careless driving fine, followed by 6 demerit points.

The officer is getting off easy.

thoughts?

that's more than just a "tap"....IMO that's full on distracted driving at a descent speed...
