I was thinking about doing just that as I rode home. But the school probably wouldn't do anything about it anyhow. Then I thought how poorly those kids reflected the homes they are being brought up in, very sad.Originally Posted by mimitabby
Honestly, it was very scary and I will never NEVER ride down that road at that time again.

I would report this behavior to the school anyway. And I'd probably write a letter to the local newspaper too. These kids were endangering your life, and it's important that they know that. Originally Posted by momof4greatkids

Yes, they are still young enough to LEARN. Please try talking to the school.

Report it the behaviour to the school, the police may even post a car out to watch for this reckless behaviour when school lets out.

I am on the opposite corner of Ohio, I think. I know here, the police are awesome when it comes to HS dismissal. Not only does it keep others safe, it ulitmately teachers the teen drivers to be safe.

I called the State Highway Patrol and reported this traffic hazard. They were very polite and took all the relevant information and promised to step up patrol of the area.
