When you don't stop for a school bus that has its stop sign extended and lights flashing, you can face serious consequences. In many places, it's considered a traffic violation, resulting in hefty fines, points on your driving record, and potentially increased insurance rates. More importantly, ignoring the bus's signals endangers the safety of children who are boarding or disembarking. It's essential to always stop for school buses to ensure the safety of young pedestrians.

The specific distance you need to stop behind a school bus will depend on your local traffic laws. In general, it is recommended to stop at least 20-30 feet behind a school bus to ensure the safety of students entering or exiting the bus. Always follow the instructions and signage on the school bus and be aware of any specific regulations in your area.
yes
You do not need to stop for a stopped school bus if it is on the opposite side of a divided highway, meaning there are physical barriers or multiple lanes separating your direction from the bus. Additionally, if the bus has its stop sign extended and lights flashing while you are traveling on a road with no designated school zone, you are required to stop only if you are on the same side of the road as the bus. Always be cautious and aware of children when driving near school buses.
Yes, you should stop.
