Anderson There is no excuse for a motorist to- pass a stopped sehool bus with red lights flashing. As a mnotorist you must drive withi added caution whenlever you see a yellow school bus ahead of you or travellinig towards you. Remiember, if the red flashing, lights on the school bus begin to flash, traffic travelling in both directions MUST STOP, and REMAIN STOP- PED until the flashing red lights are turned off. A driver failing to stop for a school, bus, if convicted, could face a fine of $100 to $500 for the first offence and for any subsequent offences a fine of $250 to $1000 or im- prisonment for up to six months or both, and a loss of six demerit points. As a parent you should, re- mmid your child to be very careful when getting on or off the school bus. If they must cross the road stress that they look for approaching traffic andthen look a second time to be sure it is safe to cross, tell them to look to the school bus driver for a signal to cross. The children learn bus rules at school, encour- them to use these rules aný_ assist the bus driver by stay- ing in the seats and keeping the noise down. The s'choQl bus stopping law applies everywhere, regardless -of speed limit, on highways, country roads, ci- ty, town or village streets. ,Motorists meeting a stop- ped sehool bus, with kd lights flashing, must stop unless they are on a highway, divided by a median /strip. Median strip means the por- tion of a highway constructed to separate traffic travelling in one direction from traffic travelIling in the opposite direction. The median strip is a physical barrier, or an un- paved strip of ground. Motorists overtaking a stopped school bus with red lights- flashing o n any highway, must always stop at least 20 meters before reaching the bus. In both cases motorists may flot pro- ceed until the bus resumes motion or the lights have stopped flashing. Be on the alert for children and school buses when on the road during school hours. -A child's life could be in your hands.
