As we kick off the new year, this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast is packed with valuable insights and heartwarming stories that will have you seeing the school bus in a whole new light.  First, we chat with Valerie Higley, a seasoned school bus driver who's bringing her real-world expertise to life in her new children's book, "Shaman Rides the School Bus." Valerie shares the inspiring tale of Shaman the goat, who's navigating the ins and outs of riding the big yellow bus for the first time. But this book is about so much more than just a fun story - it's a crucial tool for teaching kids the importance of school bus safety, from staying out of the "danger zone" to crossing the street the right way.  Valerie's passion for keeping kids safe is palpable, and you'll be amazed by all the little details you never knew went into ensuring a smooth, incident-free ride to school each day. As a veteran bus driver herself, she knows firsthand how quickly things can go wrong, so getting this message into the hands of young readers is her mission. We also hear from Arleen McCarthy, a New York City schoolteacher whose debut children's book, "My Friend John," is sparking important conversations about neurodiversity and acceptance. Arleen's own brother has Tourette Syndrome, and she's on a mission to spread awareness and empathy through this heartwarming tale of friendship. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone who wants to make the world a little bit kinder, this episode is a must-listen.

What are the laws in Texas about interacting with school buses? That is the question we discuss on this episode of San Antonio's go-to personal injury law firm podcast. Join us to learn more. Transcript: Personal Injury Attorney Justin Hill: Welcome to Hill Law Firm cases, a podcast discussing real-world cases handled by Justin Hill and the Hill Law Firm. For confidentiality reasons, names and amounts of any settlements have been removed. However, the facts are real. These are the cases we handle on a day to day basis. [music] Welcome to this episode of Hill Law Firm cases where we're going to be talking about school bus safety in the state of Texas and in San Antonio. One of the things about our law firm is we are a safety advocacy law firm as well as a personal injury plaintiffs law firm. It's very important for us that what we do makes our community safer, and specifically, what we do make San Antonio safer city for everybody to live in. I always joke with people that I wish we got put out of business by everybody following the laws, by products being made safer, and by people doing what they're supposed to do. I hope we don't get put out of business by political changes in which our legislators and insurance companies try to protect and shield insurance companies and corporations from any liability when they do wrong. One of the things I like to talk about is, in a case, usually there's some standard by which people have violated that led to somebody being injured. For example, if somebody is on their phone or drunk, and they cause a crash, they violated that law and that safety standard about drinking and driving, or texting and driving and caused a crash. In that example, San Antonio is one of the worst cities in the state of Texas in the United States for drinking and driving. These are issues that if people would follow the law, and do correctly, I wouldn't get those types of cases, and that would be great for everybody in our city, our state, and it will make our community safer. One of the things I want to talk about today is school bus safety. We all have been stuck behind a school bus before, we've probably all hated that experience, especially if you're stuck behind a school bus that stopping over, and over, and over, and you can't get around it. I remember growing up, I lived out in a rural area, and we'd be stuck behind buses for a long time on our way home. That was part of it and I actually rear-ended the school bus as a kid, so I'm glad that people follow the laws when they do because I was one of those kids that could have been injured. [clears throat] The State of Texas has laws on how we are supposed to interact with and treat school buses when they're on the road. Some of the laws involve all drivers must stop for flashing red lights on a school bus regardless which direction you're traveling. We've all seen a school bus start to slow, and the yellow lights on the back of it start flashing, and then they turn red. The law on that is that they're essentially the same as a stop sign, that no matter which side of the road you're on, whether behind it or fixing to pass it, you're required by Texas law to stop. The reasons for this are pretty obvious, kids exiting and entering a bus might dart across the road or step out when a vehicle is trying to pass. If you're old enough to drive, you've probably got better judgment, hopefully, then, a six-year-old who's running across the street and just wants to get home, or just wants to get on the bus. If you see the red lights, come to a complete stop. Another thing about school bus safety is that you're allowed to continue your trip once the bus has moved, and the flashing lights have stopped flashing, or if the school bus driver lets you pass. You can end up passing the bus if you need to, you just can't do it with its lights flashing. The fines in Texas for this type of bad behavior can lead to $1,000 fines in the state of Texas.
