During emergency transport, can you pass a stopped school bus?

• A. Yes, if you think it's safe to pass
• B. No, never pass
• C. Only if the bus driver signals it's safe to pass
• D. Only if you are in a hurry

Answer: (C)

The safety idea here is that a stopped school bus creates a high-risk zone because children may be crossing or entering the roadway. The proper approach is to treat the situation as non-passable unless there is an explicit signal from the bus driver that it’s safe to proceed. If the bus driver signals that it’s okay to pass, you may do so, but you should not rely on any other cue or assumption. In emergency transport, you still prioritize safety and only pass if you receive a clear signal from the bus driver that it’s safe, rather than assuming it’s okay to go just because you’re in a hurry.
