Car permit · School buses
In your lane, a school bus has stopped in front of you and its red lights are flashing. What should you do?

Answer options
- ASlow to 15 mph and pass the bus carefully
- BStop, then go once you believe every child is off the bus

Flashing red lights on a school bus mean children are getting on or off. You must stop and wait for the lights to go off; guessing that the children are clear or creeping past at low speed is never allowed.
