Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

If you encounter a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended on a road without a median, it is important to always stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the stop arm is retracted. This ensures the safety of children who may be getting on or off the bus. Option B is incorrect because you should never just slow down and proceed with caution when a school bus is stopped with its flashing lights and stop arm extended. This could potentially result in hitting a child or violating a traffic law. Options C and D are also incorrect because you should never pass a school bus when it is stopped with its flashing lights and stop arm extended, regardless of the role of a median. Passing a school bus in this situation is unsafe and illegal. Therefore, the only safe and legal option is to stop and wait until the bus moves on.
