I'm going to call bullshit on this. Most human drivers do not flout these rules.

No kidding. Try doing this once or twice and the driver will record your information and you’ll get a nice visit from the police.

Out here in rural nowhere it doesn’t — it just gets the sheriff on the local news begging people to stop instead of solving the actual problem at hand by placing patrols on the routes.

Out here in rural nowhere it most certainly does. The school bus driver will record your number plate, and school buses have the equivalent of dashcams now.

I think maybe they meant that the majority of vehicles that flout the rules are human-driven.
