AnswerDepending on the state, no stopping for a school bus is a fairly serious traffic offense. Some judge's may let you go if you can prove that the stop sign was not out, but generally, the presence of the school bus stopped on the road should be enough to give the driver notice to stop.
Additionally, even if you say the sign wasn't out, the officer will likely testify that it was actually out. In the case of your word (with a reason to lie) vs. the officer (with no dog in the fight) it is rare that a judge is going to believe your side of the story.
In Ohio, the driver of any vehicle approaching a school bus stopped in order to pick up or leave off a child, must halt at least ten feet behind or in front of the school bus. The driver must not proceed until the school bus moves forward or the school bus driver signals the driver to go ahead. A driver who violates Ohio traffic laws concerning stopping for school bus may be fined up to $500.
