Which TWO of the following statements about the special protection of school buses for children are correct? Select TWO
When a school bus for children stops with its flashing lights on, the duty to make a temporary stop applies not only to its own lane but also to the lane right next to it, and on certain roads even to vehicles coming the other way (Article 51 of the Road Traffic Act). Also remember the overtaking rule for a school bus displaying that it carries children.
Answer: ①, ③
Explanation
Article 51(1) of the Road Traffic Act requires drivers in the lane of a stopped school bus with flashing lights, and in the lane right next to it, to make a temporary stop, check for safety and then drive slowly, and paragraph (3) prohibits overtaking a school bus displaying that it carries children. Under paragraph (2), on roads without a centerline or with one lane each way, oncoming vehicles must also make a temporary stop, so merely slowing down is wrong. Vehicles in the adjacent lane must also make a temporary stop.
