What action should a driver take when approaching a stopped school bus that is flashing its lights?

  1. top and wait until the lights turn off

  2. low down and proceed with caution

  3. rive around the bus quickly

  4. peed up in order to pass the bus quickly

The correct answer is: top and wait until the lights turn off

When approaching a stopped school bus that is flashing its lights, a driver should always stop and wait until the lights turn off and the bus starts moving again. This is because the lights indicate that children are either getting on or off the bus, and it is illegal and unsafe to pass a stopped school bus while the lights are flashing. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest driving past the bus instead of stopping, which can lead to serious consequences such as hitting a child or receiving a ticket for violating traffic laws. It is important for drivers to always be cautious and follow traffic laws when approaching a stopped school bus to ensure the safety of children.
