Correct Answer:

Stop your vehicle until the lights stop flashing

Explanation:

When you encounter a school bus with its red lights flashing, stopping your vehicle until the lights stop flashing is the proper action to take. This rule is crucial for the safety of children who may be entering or exiting the bus. The flashing red lights indicate that children are present and that vehicles must come to a complete stop to allow them to cross the street safely. The law requires all drivers to stop their vehicles in both directions on a two-lane roadway, ensuring that children have the necessary protection during this vulnerable time. Only when the red lights are no longer flashing and it is safe to proceed should you continue driving. Observing this rule helps prevent accidents and ensures a safer environment for students traveling to and from school.
