While approaching a school bus stop, which of these lighting and mirror practices should you follow?
Correct answer: All of these are correct.
Answer options
- AKeep checking all of your mirrors the whole time
- BSwitch on the alternating amber lights well before the stop
- CAll of these are correct Correct
Why
Both belong to a safe approach. The alternating flashing amber lights go on at least 200 feet, or about 5 to 10 seconds, before the stop unless state law says otherwise, and you keep scanning every mirror for students, vehicles, and other hazards in the danger zones.
