Samantha and Stuart Smith, residents of Fayetteville, are drawing attention to a dangerous issue on Wedington Drive involving drivers ignoring their son’s school bus. Their son, who has a disability, relies on the bus for safety. Despite efforts to stop for the bus, they face hostility from other drivers and have even witnessed close calls. The Fayetteville Police Department emphasizes that passing a stopped school bus is illegal and highlights the importance of this law for child safety. However, Samantha’s attempts to address the problem with the police and city council have been met with limited resources and response. The Smiths advocate for coordinated action between various groups, including law enforcement, the school district, and city council, to address the issue effectively.
