I remember turning 25, and receiving a BIG DISCOUNT ON INSURANCE... because I had "learned to drive." Evidently, at 25, insurance companies know there is some big statistical decrease in claims.

As others have mentioned, his age seems young. It would seem that insurance rates for bus drivers would also be predicated on certain age ranges, and that his young age would have been a risk. I am surprised the "fleet discount" would apply to such young applicants since insurance companies already know the risk.

Every bus driver I know (or can remember) has been older... ancient... well... at least 25 (except for the simpson's bus driver dude)

As a parent of a 4.5 year old, this story tears at my heart. Scary stuff.

edit.. never mind. At age 25 I had also received an EVOC (emergency vehicle operating certificate/license)- so technically, I could have driven an ambulance. I declined, specifically, for the responsibility involved, as well as a hostile legal environment for ambulance drivers (being followed by ambulance chasers). There was a lot of training for this privilege. Due to the liability I declined (hmmmm... consistent theme?).
