A driver slowed down and passed by a school bus which had stopped to let children get on and off the bus.

• A. True
• B. Not Applicable
• C. Cannot Determine
• D. False

Answer: (D)

When a school bus has stopped to let children on or off, the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended to signal that all traffic must stop. This rule exists to protect children in or near the roadway. Passing a stopped school bus is dangerous and illegal in almost every jurisdiction. You’re required to stop and wait until the bus resumes moving and the lights stop flashing. So the described action is not permitted, and the statement is false.
