Car permit · School buses

On a two-lane road, a school bus coming from the opposite direction stops and turns on its flashing red lights. What must you do?

Correct answer: Bring your vehicle to a stop.

  1. AReduce speed and be ready to stop
  2. BBring your vehicle to a stop Correct
  3. CKeep driving in your own lane

Why

If a school bus stops on a two-lane road with its red lights flashing, traffic approaching from either direction has to stop and stay put until the lights go off and the bus moves on. Simply slowing down is not sufficient, including when the bus is on the opposite side of the road.

Tip Drivers on the far side of a highway split by a physical divider, such as a raised median, are not required to stop.
