A school bus ahead begins flashing yellow warning lights. What should the driver do?
Yellow westbound school bus B slows on an undivided road with its overhead inboard amber lights flashing. Its outboard red warning lamps are off and the stop arm is folded. Blue A is behind and silver C approaches in the opposite lane. A rear-header detail makes the amber lamp housings visible. No stop distance is shown.
Correct answer: Slow down and prepare to stop.
Why
Flashing yellow school-bus lights warn that the bus is preparing to stop and drivers should slow and get ready to stop.
