Passing target: 70% (14/20)
You stop about 20 feet behind a school bus that has its red lights flashing. The children have boarded and the door is closed, but the bus has not moved yet. When may you drive on?
A is stopped about 20 feet behind school bus B. B remains stopped with its red warning lamps flashing and stop arm extended; the neutral caption states that the children are aboard and its door is closed.
Correct answer: When the bus moves again, or when the bus driver or a police officer signals you on.
Why
New York requires traffic from both directions to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights, even in front of a school and in a school parking lot. The manual advises you to stop at least 20 feet from the bus. Most school-bus injuries happen when children cross the road after they get off, so after the bus leaves, watch the roadside and drive slowly past any children.
