OPERATION SAFE STOP
THE LAW SAYS . . . . DO NOT PASS
A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS
-
It is illegal - and very
dangerous - to pass a stopped school bus when the
large red lights located on top of the bus are flashing.
Flashing lights mean the bus is picking up or
discharging students.
-
You must stop whether you
are approaching the school bus from the front or
overtaking it from the rear.
-
You must always stop for
flashing red lights, even on divided and multilane
highways and on school grounds.
-
The first-time fine for
illegally passing a school bus is a $250 fine, 5 points
on your license, and/or possibly 30 days in jail.
-
Worse yet, the memory of
hitting or killing a child may be one you carry for the
rest of your life!
