Practice question

When a school bus is stopped ahead, you should:

  1. Speed up and pass
  2. Maintain your speed
  3. Pass when safe
  4. Stop at least 25 feet before

Answer: D — Stop at least 25 feet before

You should stop at least 25 feet before a stopped school bus for the safety of the students getting on or off the bus. Speeding up or maintaining your speed could result in a collision or endanger the children. Passing only when safe could still pose a risk as children may unexpectedly dart out in front of the stopped bus. Therefore, stopping at least 25 feet before the stopped school bus is the safest option.
