10.1 Danger zones and mirrors
The danger zone is the area on all sides of the bus where children are in the most danger of being hit. It may extend as far as 30 feet from the front bumper (the first 10 feet are the most dangerous), 10 feet from each side and 10 feet behind the rear bumper.
- Adjust flat, convex and crossover mirrors before every trip.
- Count students when loading and unloading and account for every child.
