What should you do if you approach a school bus with its red lights flashing?

When you encounter a school bus with its red lights flashing, it signifies that children are either getting on or off the bus, and it is a critical safety measure designed to protect those young pedestrians. Stopping and remaining stopped until the lights stop flashing is the law and is essential for ensuring the safety of children who may be crossing the road or walking near the bus.

By staying stopped, you provide a safe environment for children to move safely between the bus and their destinations. This action is not only a legal requirement but also a demonstration of responsible and courteous driving behavior in school zones. Failing to stop could lead to serious consequences, including hefty fines and potentially endangering children's lives.
