You are driving in lane 2 of a road with two lanes each way. Ahead, school bus for children A has stopped at the edge of lane 2 with its flashing lights on to show children are getting on or off, and car B is coming up behind in lane 1. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- School bus A has stopped at the edge of lane 2 ahead with its flashing lights on
- Children on the sidewalk beside the bus
- Car B approaching from behind in lane 1
When a school bus for children is stopped with its flashing lights on, vehicles in its lane and the lane right next to it must make a temporary stop (Article 51(1) of the Road Traffic Act). When changing lanes to pass the bus, also check your relation to car B in the picture (Article 19(3)).
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
When a school bus for children has stopped with its flashing lights on to show children are getting on or off, vehicles in that lane and the lane next to it must stop temporarily before reaching the bus, check that it is safe and then pass slowly (Road Traffic Act Article 51(1)). When you move to lane 1 to get past the bus, you must not obstruct car B coming in that lane (Article 19(3)). Swerving into the next lane to pass quickly, or only driving slowly without a temporary stop, is wrong.
