A more comprehensive in spection of every school bus, with permanent records on the ve hicle’s condition, will be set up. Colonel Lentz said. A regular monthly check will be made by a highway patrolman and a copy of his report will be filed with pa trol headquarters, the county sup erintendent and the chief mechan- Inspection of school buses by patrolmen isn’t new,” Colonel Lentz remarked, “but the inspec tion will be more detailed hence forth. In addition to more comprehen sive inspections. Col Lentz said a patrolman will accompany each school bus driver on his regular route at least once during the school year. During that time the officer will observe the driver’s habits and skill at the wheel. He will make notes of potentially dangerous road conditions such as blind curves, intersections and shrubbery along the shoulders. Colonel Lentz indicated that the State Highway Commission would cooperate in removing or altering any particularly hazardous condi tion. , The accompanying patrolman will also make special checks on bridges, and will observe traffic patterns and loading points along the bus route. Colonel Lentz said that recom mendations had been made to have no more than four stops per mile along school bus routes. He also suggested that each pa trolman hold ah occasional meet ing with the drivers, at which time they would discuss general safety measures, review safety films and give attention to driv^ ers’ complaints. In formulating the new pro gram. Colonel Lentz pointed to some interesting figures concern ing school bus transportation in North Carolina. At present, he said, there are 6,950 buses in op eration which carry 428,000 chil dren to and from their daily class- Each route averages about 40 WITHOUT TANK Full-Size Circulator! • Smart new “Imperial” styling, rich brown finish.
