What must a driver do when a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing?
When a school bus is stopped and its red lights are flashing, the driver must stop regardless of which direction they are traveling until the lights stop flashing. This law ensures the safety of children boarding or alighting the bus, as they might cross the road from any direction. The mandatory stop helps prevent accidents by ensuring that the area around the bus is safe for children to cross.
