A SUFFOLK coroner has urged school bus drivers to use hazard warning lights when they stop to set down schoolchildren.
Coroner Mr George Leguen de Lacroix made the comment at the inquest on 17-year-old schoolgirl Sharon Godfrey. He said that hazard lights would improve safety by warning other motorists that there were children about.
She suffered fatal injuries when she was in collision with a lorry near Halesworth moments after she stepped from a school coach taking her home. The cornoer decided that she died "as a result of an accident" on the main Haiesworth to Bungay road on September 26.
