The bus in the picture has stopped with its red lights flashing. What rule applies to you?

Answer options

Why

Flashing red lights on a stopped school bus mean children are getting on or off. You have to stop before you get to the bus and remain stopped until the lights go off; on an undivided road this applies to traffic from both directions.
