Walk It Through: The Stopped School Bus

Red lights and a stop arm, thirty feet back, the divided highway exception, and a bus driver's report.

On a two lane road, a school bus ahead stops and its red lights and stop arm come out.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

Passing a stopped school bus with no one hurt. An injury or death, a bus camera ticket from another program, and a commercial driver are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
