Law enforcement officials are urging drivers to obey traffic laws as the familiar sight of yellow school buses repopulates the roads today. Gainesville Police Department spokesman Cpl. Joe Britte said bus drivers are inclined to try to note and report violators of one of the roadway’s most important, and severe, laws governing school bus safety — not passing a stopped school bus. “More than likely the bus driver will get a tag number and report you,” Britte said.
