New Hampshire Drivers Practice Test

What should you do when you see a school bus with its lights flashing?

Pass it at reduced speed Stop for the bus Honk and proceed carefully Drive away quickly

Correct Answer:

Stop for the bus

Explanation:

When you see a school bus with its lights flashing, stopping for the bus is the correct action to take. This law is in place to protect children as they enter or exit the bus. The flashing lights indicate that children may be getting on or off the bus, and by stopping, you are ensuring their safety as well as complying with traffic regulations. In many states, including New Hampshire, it is illegal to pass a school bus when its lights are active, as this could put children at risk. Therefore, waiting until the lights stop flashing and the bus has resumed normal operation is important before you continue driving. This law applies to vehicles on both sides of the road, requiring complete vigilance and attentiveness when driving near school buses.
