There are some very good reasons to stop for stationary school buses. Such as the penalties for not stopping, which could include six demerit points, fines of up to $1,000 and even imprisonment. But the most important reason of all is simply this: Your mistake could cost a child's life. And that kind of mistake is never forgotten. So remember, drivers going in both directions must stop for a school bus flashing its red lights. And . drivers approaching from behind must stop at least 20 metres (about 4 car-lengths ) behind thebiis. . > And this year, there's something new to watch for. Every school bus in Ontario is now equipped with a STOP SIGN A*RM that is automatically automatically raised when children are getting on or off a school bus. ,S© keep an eye out this fall for flashing lights and stop siggs on school buses, Please, don't take a chance with the life of a child. .
