How is a driver required to conduct himself when intending to overtake a school transport bus that stopped to pick-up and let down children?
- Overtake the bus quickly, according to the customary overtaking stages.
- Stop behind the bus and then overtake it.
- Correct answer: Slow down and be prepared to stop.
- Honk continuously and overtake.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and be prepared to stop.
Children getting on or off a school bus may suddenly run into the road without looking, often hidden by the bus itself. So you must slow down enough to be able to stop at once, and pass the bus only slowly and carefully. A normal overtake or honking does not remove this danger, and there is no rule to always wait behind the bus until it moves on.
