What must you do when meeting a school bus which is stopped to pick up or discharge children?

• A. Sound your horn and pass
• B. Stop and then carefully pass at less than 10 mph
• C. Stop and wait until the bus has started or you are signaled by the driver to proceed
• D. Slow down and pass carefully at less than 10 mph

Answer: (C)

When you meet a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children, you must come to a complete stop and stay stopped. You may proceed only once the bus starts moving again or the driver signals that it’s safe to proceed. This protects children who may be crossing or entering the roadway. Horns, passing while the bus is stopped, or speeding past at a reduced speed are not safe or allowed in this situation.
