With just a few days into the start of the school year, Kelowna RCMP is blitzing the streets to stop drivers speeding in school zones - a common practice with the kids heading back to class.

What is not common, however, is for a marked yellow school bus to be pulled over, with students on board.

A bus driver, contracted to drive students to a local private school, was marked going over the posted speed limit of 30 km/hr by an officerB次元官网网址檚 radar gun, prompting a written warning and a call to the driverB次元官网网址檚 supervisor.

Cst. Mike Della-Paolera of the Kelowna detachment called the situation B次元官网网址榙isappointingB次元官网网址�.

B次元官网网址淎 bus driver, who we trust with the safety of our children who blatantly disregards that responsibility is shocking.B次元官网网址�

RCMP want to remind the public that school zones are in effect from 7:30a.m.-5p.m.
