The police will be keeping an eye on drivers who don't stop for school buses. Not stopping for a school bus could mean a big fine for drivers. According to the Ontario School Bus Association News, "drivers passing a school bus with its stop arm out and overhead overhead red lights flashing will face fines doubled to between $400 and $2,000 for a first offence. Repeat offenders (face fines) in the range of $ 1,000 to $4,000. At six demerit points, the only offence to exact a more severe penalty is failing failing to remain at an accident scene. Offenders may also face up to six months in jail." Rules for drivers around school buses and schools are set out in the province's Highway Traffic Act. The law says drivers meeting a stopped school bus, with overhead red signal signal lights flashing and stop arm out, must stop before reaching the bus. Drivers must remain stopped until the bus moves or the overhead overhead red lights have stopped flashing. Cars approaching a stopped school bus from behind must halt at least 20 metres before reaching the bus and not proceed until the biis moves or the overhead overhead red signal lights have of the crossing when a crossing guard is displaying displaying the school crossing stop sign. stopped flashing.

"I used to see it every day when I was driving," she says, adding there have even been instances of cars running running into the back of buses while the bus, with lights flashing, was stopped at a railroad crossing. "They just get thinking about other things and don't pay attention," says the safety officer.
