The Rhône gendarmes have published a shock video to alert on the safety of children during school pickup.
Entitled "Why you should never cross behind a bus", the gendarmes have released a shocking video to warn of the dangers to which children are exposed daily during school trips.
A shocking video
Posted on Tuesday, September 15 on the Gendarmerie du Rhône Facebook account, the video shows a school bus stop at the side of a busy road.
Children get off the bus and a boy and a little girl decide to cross, passing behind the bus without noticing the heavy truck arriving at full speed.
It was thanks to an incredible reflex from the driver of the truck that the child came out safe and sound. Indeed, we can see on the images that the semi-trailer manages to brake in time. However, it took a few inches.
The pictures speak for themselves. The shock video is a way to educate children but also parents on the need to make schoolchildren aware of the importance of remaining careful during school trips.
The instructions are simple: never cross behind a bus that you have just left!
