I can imagine how distressing that must have been, especially being one of the younger passengers on the bus.
You raise some thoughtful questions - it does seem excessive to severely punish drivers for an unclear infraction they may not have even been aware of. Effective signage and communication about the rules of military zones could prevent such incidents. I wonder if the no-trespassing rule was made clear there.
However, I also understand the military likely has their safety reasons for keeping a high level of control around their facilities. It's a complex situation with valid perspectives on both sides.
Actually! Hopefully they will help us indicate where not to trespass again whenever we get really close to thier zone.
Thank you so much for engaging sis.
