That's definitely an interesting take, and it triggered a thought I had a long time ago.

One thing I've noticed since moving to North America is that children get off the school bus and will essentially just run across the street, including straight in front of the bus, because they know the traffic around them has stopped.

I can only imagine that that leads to some sort of subconscious thinking that can only be dangerous once they are not on a school bus...

It is. Two summers ago, a kid from my school got off a city bus, walked in front of the bus and into the street and was hit by a car and killed.
