Safe operation of the bus is critical to the proper functioning of the S1 GARD as an effective danger-zone barrier in front of the rear wheels.

Unwarranted acceleration into right turns, such as those that penetrate pedestrian cross walks may cause the chassis of the bus to lift from the ground on the right, increasing the gap between the bottom of the GARD and the ground.

This increases the likelihood of a person or body part going under the S1 GARD and impacting the rear wheels.
