Question

Millions of children in the United States ride safely to and from school on school buses each day. Although school buses are the safest way to take them to school, about 33 school-age children die in school bus-related(与巴士有关的) traffic accidents each year.

Most of those killed are five to seven years old. They are hit in the danger zone(区域) around the bus, either by a passing vehicle(车辆) or by the school bus itself. It is illegal(非法的) for a car to pass a bus with its red light flashing(闪耀).

Young children are most likely to be hit because they hurry to get on or off the bus, act before they think and have little experience(经验) with traffic. They believe that drivers will see them and will wait for them to cross. And they don't always stay within the bus driver's sight.
