While driving on an undivided highway, you approach a school bus that is stopped and has its red lights flashing. You:
|
May pass the bus on the right, if no children are present.
|
|
|
May pass if the way is clear.
|
|
|
Must remain stopped until the bus driver turns off the flashing red lights.
|
|
|
Must turn on your emergency flashers.

Explanation
When you approach from behind or from the opposite direction a school bus that displays flashing lights, you must stop until the lights are switched off or until the school bus moves. You don't have to stop as long as you are on a four-lane road, and the bus has stopped in the opposite direction that you are traveling in. Always watch out for children or pedestrians trying to cross the street.
