Here in Virginia, efforts are being stepped up to catch drivers who fail to stop for school buses with flashing lights and extended ares. Chesterfield County is installing AI-powered cameras on every school bus starting this week. After a 30-day grace period, violators could face $250 fines. The system records potential offenders and sends data to police for review. The program aims to reduce reckless driving around that county’s nearly 700-bus fleet and begins issuing fines on October 13. Some other Virginia school districts are either already in the process of doing the same thing, or considering it.
