I've never heard of a national speed limit for school buses.

IF they're limited at all it's usually because they're governed and the speed is determined on the local level.

As far as I know school buses can go as fast as other traffic. I have never heard of a national speed limit, either.

I think that is it right there. Local or State regulations on school buses.

Seems like Texas has some kind of something for busses. I've seen signs, but I never paid any attention. :p

Rabbit, I think You're referring to the limit on how many of the Junior High kids can be spitting their tobacco out the windows at ONE time! ;)

Yeah, that can be ugly. Especially, if "miss little I'm better than you" is beside the bus in her Cadillac. :rofl:
