Do you stop when a school bus stops to pick up kids and the red lights are on?

I always stop when they have those things on! I'm so scared that i'd hit a kid or something I really think it's sad that people don't know that they have to stop for stuff like that this is how kids get hit my cars

Yes, I always stop. It's the law. And, I would never want to hurt someone driving my car.

I have been aware of this law for years, although I have seen some people actually just keep going from the other direction and some cars whip around and pass the line of cars stopped behind the bus. This is what gets kids killed and should be heavily punished.

Yes, it's the law to stop. You can have your driver's license suspended for 90 days if you are caught. The obvious reason for this law is for the children getting off at bus stops to be safe and not to get run over by vehicles.

I always stop, but I have seen others not stop going the other direction. It is the law here, but how often is there a police officer around when it happens? I like the idea of having a trooper on the bus with the kids. Or even put the thought in peoples minds that there "might" be one, would make people think before they pass another bus.

why not, i think everybody stops

I always stop whether I am behind them or approaching them. I always stop a few hundred feet back to just incase. You never know when someone will not see that you are stopped and cause you to slam into children crossing in front of the bus. At least if that would ever happen to me, I would be far enough back as to hopefully never ever hit any of the children.

yes i do. I used to be a crossing guard at my kids school. i couldn't believe how many people don't know the rules when it comes to school crossings and buses. it used to make me so mad, people just don't seem to care. they need to go back to driving school lol.

i know it and i always follow trafic rules

I'm sure they do know, but sometimes they're in a hurry and trying to get to wherever it is they're going to. I stop all the time because I know the bus has the right of way.

I think that is great that your state is doing this. Yes, I always stop. Would you believe just the other day, when crossing guard walked out and was trying to stop the traffic, two cars decided they didn't want to stop! People are in way too much of a hurry. And sadly, it will cost a child's life or severe injury.

Yes, I alway stop. That is someone child, it is for safty. Un real that people don't stop. That is great that they put a state trooper on the bus. But not every state can do that. We have to some way to save our children.

I always stop when a bus has its red flashing lights on. It's the law where I live. And besides, I don't want a child to run in front of my vehicle and getting hit.

Yes, I stop every time. It's the law!

Yes I have been doing that since I have been driving and that's been a long time ago.My kids bus was involved in an accident last year because of a car following to closely,wasn't aware the bus was stopped and hit them.A big YELLOW school bus means CAUTION! come on how could he miss that?

i always slow down and stop whenever i see a bus.

I always do without failure. I know some people don't, as they are always in a rush to get somewhere.

yes i stop unless i am on the other side with a median in batween than it is not breakin the law or at leadt here its not.

that is some thing that here in canada you can get really expensive fines for no obeying i dont drive so i dont have that worry but had to take a bus to school growing up and was almost hit by a driver who passed a bus
