"A caller reported a school bus driver driving erratically, weaving over the center line and the fog line, on Metacom Avenue near Woodlawn Avenue. Officers made contact with the bus driver, finding out that the bus was experiencing suspension problems and was headed back to the yard. There were no children on the bus."

Any vehicle experiencing that kind of difficulty is a danger to the public and should have been TOWED. Especially one as large as a school bus!! Imagine what would have happened if it struck a pedestrian walking along Metacom Ave where there are no sidewalks?

From: Bristol Police log: Erratic school bus, graveyard golf
