<sigh>

It's now October and the school buses have been running for a month.

Right my my turn into work is a railroad track, and school buses are required by law here to stop at all all railroad crossing with the *yellow* hazard lights on. This is important.

Similar laws say that if the *red* lights go on, everybody stops to let out the kidlings.

Now, you :censored: idiots, if the bus puts on the yellows, you can pass them. DO NOT come to an un-necessary stop on a 50 MPH road and a railway crossing that is pretty blind.

Nothing says GOOD MORNING like having to lock up the brakes for some idiot who does not even know the basic. Get off the :censored: road and back on the :censored: city bus!

Dumbfuck.

So, was the road 2 or more lanes both ways? That's the only way I'd consider passing a bus; I wouldn't go into the opposite lane to get around. Other than that, I'd slow down before getting to the blind spot, just to be careful.

The law must be different where you are -- There are certain areas and/or states here in the lower 48 where passing a stopped school bus is illegal, lights or no, I believe. IIRC, there are even areas where it's illegal to pass them *on either side of the highway* when stopped (yes, meaning that people going Westbound must stop for a bus that's Eastbound) if it's a "highway with houses along the side" area.

Froot Loops with marshmallows. Don't ask me how I know. <.<

Er, yeah, around here you have to stop for the bus, even if it is only stopping for the tracks. Go around = driver calls in your plate and the cops hunt you down.

[ArcticChicken]

Yeah, in my hometown you're not allowed to pass a schoolbus, unless the driver considerately pulls off to the side to allow the long line of cars stuck behind him to pass.

Around here on a school bus, the yellow mean "I'm stopping - go around" and reds mean "Everybody Stops under threat of a real big ticket."

We also have the fun of a single blue light means snow removal. Kinda fun watching our friends from the US pull over for a snow plow. :lol:

As yes - it's a two lane each way divided highway without a a house or school in sight of the crossing.
