When approaching a stopped school bus with red warning lights flashing, you should:

• A. Stop and wait until the warning lights stop flashing.
• B. Proceed through cautiously.
• C. Stop and continue with caution after passing the bus.
• D. Turn around and go in the opposite direction.

Answer: (A)

Red flashing lights on a stopped school bus tell you that children may be entering or leaving the roadway, so you must come to a complete stop and stay stopped until the lights stop and the bus resumes motion. This protects kids who might unexpectedly cross in front of the bus. Proceeding with caution or after passing, or turning around, does not remove the danger and is not allowed.
