The law applies to vehicles following and meeting school buses, and is applicable to all two-lane and many four-lane highways. However, vehicles are not required to stop if the halted bus is on the opposite side of a highway having four or more traffic lanes, and which is physically separated into two roadways by a wide median sufficient to serve as a refuge for pedestrians crossing the highway. Department officials point out that multi-laned high ways which have only a painted or gravel median separating op posite directions of traffic do not qualify as having separate roadways, and that traffic from both directions is therefore re quired to stop for loading or unloading buses. Regardless of the type of highway involved, all traffic fol lowing school buses is required to stop if the buses stop to pick up or unload passengers. Having stopped as required by law, vehicles must not proceed until the buses move on or un til drivers of the buses signal for other traffic to proceed. All South Carolina school bu ses are equipped with flash ing lights and stop arms which are used to warn motorists when the buses are about to stop or are actually stopped to load or unload passengers. High way Department officials urge every driver to be especially watchful for school buses dur ing the early morning and after noon hours, and to regard every such bus as a caution signal. pital? Three hundred thousand South Carolinians do know what to do because they have taken the Medical Self-Help Training Course that is offered by the State Board of Health. It is available to students in grade school, housewives, plant work ers, and civic clubs; and groups of all these people have taken it. Dr. E. Kenneth Aycock, state health officer, says there are eleven types of emergency self- help training that are covered in the course: radioactive fall out and shelter, healthful liv ing in emergencies, artificial re spiration, bleeding and bandag ing, fractures and splinting, transportation of the injured, burns, shocks, nursing care of the sick and injured, infant and child care, and emergency child birth. The course is taught with filmstrips or motion pictures that are followed by practice sessions. The South Carolina Educational Television Network has offered the course during every school semester for seve ral years and thousands of ju nior and high school students have learned the valuable les- . sons it teaches. Dr. Aycock says that anyone can take the course by contact ing his local county health de partment and asking when and where it will be given in his area next. The average citizen might have to cope with serious injuries or illness when a doc tor can’t reach him, and the delay could be hours or days. “If disaster strikes and there is no doctor, the Medical Self- Help Training Course may mean the difference between life and death,” he says. All the equipment necessary for the course including film strips, projectors, instruction booklets, etc. are made avail able by the Board of Health to every group that takes the instruction.
