Question 5233
When approaching a school bus that is stopped, what precautions must be taken?
- None if there are no vehicles approaching from the opposite direction.
- Maintain your speed and pay attention to obeying the traffic signs.
- Slow down and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Slow down and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
Children getting on and off a stopped school bus may suddenly cross in front of it or behind it. As you approach, you slow down and stop if necessary. The danger comes from the children, so it makes no difference if there is no oncoming traffic.
