Why This Matters

Panicked, premature evacuations can put students in the path of traffic, fire, or other hazards outside the bus that are more dangerous than staying put. Knowing the default is to stay unless there's unnecessary risk helps a driver make a clear-headed, timely call instead of an automatic one.
