Question: 1 / 400

What should you do if you see a school bus with flashing lights?

Drive past it quickly

Stop your vehicle

When you see a school bus with flashing lights, the correct action to take is to stop your vehicle. School buses are equipped with flashing lights to alert other drivers that children are getting on or off the bus. The purpose of this safety measure is to create a safe environment for children, who may unexpectedly cross the street as they approach or leave the bus.

When the yellow lights are flashing, it indicates that the bus is preparing to stop, and when the red lights are activated, you must come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the lights are turned off. This law applies regardless of which direction you're approaching the bus from, whether in front or behind, ensuring the safety of the children in the vicinity. Failing to stop can result in significant penalties and, more importantly, poses a serious risk to children's safety.
