France Increases School Bus Safety Inspections in Manche for New Academic Year

Authorities launch comprehensive school bus safety checks as new academic year begins. Manche Gendarmerie organizes joint operation with traffic, DREAL, and road safety partners.

Second commander Caroline Lebas supervises; regional officials actively join operation's planning team.

Inspections occurred across thirty-seven schools within Manche, spanning multiple communities simultaneously. First goal: raise road safety awareness among students walking during low visibility hours.

Inspectors emphasized safety vests, visible clothing, and reflective gear for students' journeys. All transportation checks performed professionally; no violations detected among buses or drivers.
