You are driving in lane 1 of a road with two lanes each way. A school bus for children (A) has stopped at the edge of lane 2 with its flashing lights on to show that children are getting on or off. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 1
- School bus A has stopped at the edge of lane 2 with its flashing lights on
- Children on the sidewalk beside the bus
- Two lanes in each direction
When a school bus for children is stopped with its flashing lights on, duties apply not only to vehicles in that lane but also to those in the lane right next to it (Article 51(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Thinking "it's not my lane" is the trap, and this bus may not be overtaken either (paragraph 3).
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
When a school bus for children has stopped with its flashing lights on to show that children are getting on or off, vehicles in the lane next to it, not only those in the bus's own lane, must make a temporary stop before reaching the bus, check that it is safe and then drive slowly past (Road Traffic Act Article 51(1)). Your car is in lane 1, right next to the bus, so this duty applies. A school bus showing that it carries children may not be overtaken (Article 51(3)), and hurrying children with the horn is dangerous.
