What should you do when approaching a school bus that is parked and flashing red lights?
Stop and wait until it turns green
Slow down and pass with caution
Stop and wait until it turns yellow
Keep going without stopping
The correct answer is: Slow down and pass with caution
When approaching a school bus that is parked and flashing red lights, the correct action to take is to slow down and pass with caution. It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing, as this indicates that children are either entering or exiting the bus. Option A, stopping and waiting for the light to turn green, is incorrect as there is no traffic light involved and stopping would block traffic. Option C, stopping and waiting for the light to turn yellow, is incorrect as this is not a traffic light and the bus has already stopped. Option D, continuing without stopping, is incorrect as it is illegal to pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing, and it is important to prioritize the safety of children above your own convenience.
