Children who get off a school bus are taught to take five giant steps away from it before they cross. You stop for a bus that is letting children off. How should this affect where you stop?
A large reference view shows a stopped school bus with red warning lamps and an extended STOP arm. The card says children are getting off and are taught five giant steps away. No driver stopping position or clearance zone is selected.
Correct answer: Stop far enough from the bus to leave the space around it clear for the children.
Why
Most children who die in school-bus crashes are hit outside the bus while they get on or off, by the bus or by a driver who passes it illegally. Young children may bend down for a dropped paper or run back for a lost item. Keep your distance, and keep watching all sides of the bus until you drive on.
