Ahead of you, a school bus is slowing down, and its yellow lights are flashing. What should you do?
A follows a school bus that is slowing with amber warning lights active.
Correct answer: Slow down and be ready to stop
Why
A school bus turns on flashing yellow (amber) lights before it stops, about 150 feet ahead in cities and about 500 feet ahead elsewhere. Drivers from either direction must slow down and be ready to stop, because children may already be near or in the road. Once the red lights flash, you must stop at least 30 feet from the bus.
