WATCH: Driver caught on video using sidewalk to pass school bus in Philadelphia<\/p>\n

\"SydneyBRIDGEPORT, Pa. \u2014<\/p>\n

An impatient driver was captured on camera driving onto a sidewalk to pass a stopped school bus with its flashing stop arm extended near Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

See video of the incident in the player above.<\/p>\n

The Bridgeport Police Department posted video of the incident to its Facebook page, writing, “When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you MUST stop. Saving a few seconds is not worth putting a child\u2019s life at risk.”<\/p>\n

The police department said the video “is one example of what our school bus drivers and students are encountering on our roads.” <\/p>\n

The school buses in Bridgeport were recently equipped with a camera system that documents vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses, according to the police department.<\/p>\n

The video serves as a reminder to drivers to follow traffic laws, particularly regarding school buses, as the school year is underway.<\/p>\n

Bridgeport is located 17 miles northwest of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WATCH: Driver caught on video using sidewalk to pass school bus in Philadelphia BRIDGEPORT, Pa. \u2014 An impatient…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[6028,122756,52516,6853,11162,5855,71578,1245,42263,2582,105,28,69,71,70,206,41304,122754,16405,122755,7363,4786,26602,20699,10496,113805,3315,1799,420,15777,27224,94426],"class_list":["post-297195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-bridgeport","tag-bridgeport-police-department","tag-bus-driver","tag-camera","tag-caught-on-camera","tag-child","tag-child-safety","tag-driver","tag-facebook-page","tag-incident","tag-life","tag-pennsylvania","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-police","tag-reckless-driving","tag-red-lights","tag-risk","tag-road-rules","tag-safety","tag-school-bus","tag-school-year","tag-shnd","tag-sidewalk","tag-stop-arm","tag-students","tag-traffic-laws","tag-video","tag-violation","tag-watch","tag-wjcl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
