Hong Kong – Traffic police in China recently pulled over a seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) van that was found to be carrying 36 school children, a teacher and a driver, the state broadcaster CCTV reported.
The driver, surnamed Bai, runs a local kindergarten in Nanyang, Henan province and is responsible for taking the children to school and back home every school day.
Most of the passengers were kindergarten pupils with a few from primary school carrying their schoolbags, the CCTV footage showed.
The school van was not registered, nor did Bai have a driving licence.
“It’s just the tip of the iceberg. Rural kindergartens are usually like this. It’s quite normal to drive 20-30 school kids in such a minibus,” one internet user commented.
“Who will take responsibility if something happens?” wrote another.
The police impounded the van, while Bai is being held in criminal detention for dangerous driving. – South China Morning Post
