Is the air traffic, trains, subway and an International Space Station also required to stop? Does the Earth keep spinning while the bus stops? So much questions

Police officers, would you let your small children cross a FOUR LANE Hwy, by themselves, TWICE A DAY to and from the bus? That is what you are saying by suggesting that traffic stops in both directions !!! When, actually, bus drivers ARE REQUIRED to drop the kids on the SAME side of the street where they live on anything GREATER than a TWO lane road. That needs to be clarified.

In Europe, I've never heard a traffic rule like this. School kids take normal buses to the school, they may bike in some states (NL for example), or their parents give them a lift. That kind of yellow school bus is just a curiosity there, some fancy private schools have them imported from the US, and use them for school trips. I grew up in Hungary, I walked and used the normal city buses and my bike to secondary school after I was 12.

LOOK! It's Officer Chuck U. Farley! Get 'em Chuck!

The ending of the video had me laughing so hard 😂 Also these seem like pretty reasonable rules. Kids are unpredictable and can lack common sense. Adults even can lack common sense. Kids are important enough to give some leeway towards them in their favor. Maybe a reason why people hate this rule is because they don’t leave the house with extra time in case something like this happens and it ends up making them late

So useful

I accidentally passed a school bus. I was driving in the opposite side of the road. it's 4 lanes and divided by 2 solid yellow lines. I was confused , i a relatively a new driver. It happened yesterday. Im so scared. It was really an honest mistake. I was thinking the 2 soild yellow lines mean i can go straight. I havent slept thibking about it😢

The red flashers look yellow to me

Yes there is a deal tell you what if every car on the same sides go to a bus stop couldn't we just go around it and not get caught.

Passing a school bus illegally is a big hefty ticket. There is no way you’d get a warning for this. Doesn’t 6 points off your license count as a suspended license

There isn't a problem with that.

That is a waste of everyone's time because of this there is no way we a being patient at a bus stop.

How they have it , its messed up ! How it should be is yellow lights while moving and stopping should be at least 30 seconds. These people have it 2 seconds then. Red and everyone gets a ticket 😂

In my state, you only have to stop for the bus if you are on the same side of it (on a four-lane road). Things like this should be the same no matter what state you are in, so I live in Kentucky, but if I go to Indiana, I cannot pass a bus on the opposite side or get a court date. It's very confusing. I just stick to stopping for a bus unless there is a center (5th lane) or margin.

Teach your kids to look both ways. what are you teaching them by shutting down the whole street? Your teaching them that they can just walk across the street whenever

1:40 in Florida State you must STOP when there is a 5th lane when going opposite direction,,,,

Excellent video. It needs more views.

thank you. i hate when people stop on the opposite side of a solid median. it's happened to me three times this week

Thanks for posting this. I help immigrants and refugees understand our traffic laws and good videos like this one help.

What about in Guam?? With solid median, opposite direction can go??

OK, I live in a city that has a center median, with a Light Rail in the center lane. No raised or dropped center, just train tracks. What do we do here? (Phoenix Az area.) steve

So glad I live in the UK and don't have to put up with this...

@ AntLand83 If the bus is stopped on one road at an intersection, the other SIDE of that road needs to stop. Example: a bus stopped on the intersection of Vermont and Montana. The bus is stopped on Montana. The other side of Montana must stop, but Vermont can continue as long as they don't turn onto Montana.

Bus lights flash: NEWS FLASH!!!!!

What if they just have the flashing lights but not the actual stop sign? Do you still have to stop?

good video. cleared things up a bit of even though im not in that state, but Oregon is the same

what about stopping before the stop sign of the school bus and then continue while giving priority to the pedestrians? (similar to what STOP usually means?) try and figure that out.

Good thing I live in singapore. The school buses are just coach buses and there are no stop signs. Also students are not allowed to just cross the road like that.

it's $700 in California ...

And if that's not bad enough, the rules are different from state to state. So make sure you memorize all of this for each state you might be visiting or traveling through. Because, like that pig said, there's no excuse for breaking these laws and no "deals" will be cut.

Is this the same in California?

0:35 ayyy doggies! Also, make sure to look up your state laws. Every state is a bit different. In Missouri, we don't have to stop if we are going the opposite direction and there is a median or if the street has four or more lanes.

ouch 6 points? im stopping lol hate to see the insurance go up

GOOD JOB SIR , THE PUBLIC DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,

We should have one law for all school buses in the USA. These laws are so fanned out between states and the fact that they didn't teach me this shit in drivers ed pisses me off. Best bet for everyone is to just stop when ever you see that fucking red hex fold out cause you never know wtf the law is because you don't think of it until you get fucked in the ass with fines and damn jail time over a big ass yellow Twinkie

In my state it's a $600 dollar fine and 6 points on your record, and the only time you can pass a bus is when there's a concrete divider. That state is really lenient.

You know what I find funny, no one does this for city buses. it's the kids. No one should be running out in to traffic.just make them get off and a specific spot walk to a cross walk and everyone goes about there day. You don't see people getting off city buses and then running across the street. You don't need more equipment or safety devices. They need more education.

I'm a school bus driver. We would never send any kid of any age across 3 lines of roads on a drop off. The four line law about stopping does not make sense. We do send kids across these types of roads I could not be sure that cars will stop. They don't stop on a 2 lane road

As I understand it, if you see a stop signal on the school bus, then it's better to stop in order to avoid trouble.

I remember when I took my driving test in 1986, this was on the test.. Why do we have to remind people that this is still on the test???

1012 bus Has yellow lights old flash style????? But red lights new flash style???????

Interesting. Seeing this from an European point of view a lot of these laws seems to actually put the kids in more danger than if these laws didn't exist in the first place. Now hear me out. I personally live in Denmark and have myself used school buses for years, though first of all the school buses over here aren't nearly as distinctive as the ones in America. Ours are just regular city buses which could go into normal route service whenever necessary. American school buses whenever seen in Denmark are more like local tourist attractions because of their distinctive look. Ours as you can imagine out of that description doesn't have safety lights and stop signs either. In fact, none of the laws above apply here. Since Shoving away the danger from the kids makes them safer in the current, it makes them more prone to get involved in accidents in the long run since they won't be as familiar with traffic rules in the future and when outside of school. Over here we simply tell our kids to look both ways before crossing the road and that works fine with less accidents per capita than in the U.S. Also to some other commenters on this video then most school buses follow the exact same or similar routes to the ordinary buses and pick up and drop off kids at ordinary bus stops. And also Jaywalking isn't taken as seriously over here. Officers won't give you a fine if there isn't a crossing nearby.

Wait hold up. It's a STOP SIGN not a red light. So why are they all waiting?!?! It could become more of a hazard on a given road that doesnt have any stop lights or signs that a school bus pulls over onto causing every car to completely stop on the road (not even ambulances with their emergency lights on have this ability). Example: A school bus causes 10 cars to completely stop and wait on a road that doesnt have any stop signs or lights and the 11th car (or any typical driver who hates traffic) decides to go through the middle or opposite lane because it's "clear" which then is more susceptible to hitting a car or kid being that he'll most likely be speeding to get around and not paying attention and of course in the wrong lane.

Not face to face unless for dinner

1:36 and do the kids know that to? Better: Teach your children to actively participate in traffic. Teach them to look left and right before crossing. Then you no longer have to flicker with all those lights and cause traffic jams and accidents.

you CAN NOT go if you were in a different direction of 4 lanes that has a painted median in GEORGIA !

Laws differ by state. Check your local regulations.

omg i live here ha ha ha thats epic subed

why is their always a car behind the bus

Only $200? Here it's $1000!

What I'm looking for is. Can you pass a school bus when the red lamps are not flashing?

america... stop when you see school bus,stop when you see a trash can, stop when you see a dog,stop when you see soemone eating at mcdonalds.. DAMN.. stop your car,stop walking.. i hate theese things in usa

What if the bus take over 3 minutes to load or unload?

I hope we don't meet face to face

Omg seriously these rules are confusing just make it stop whenever a ducking bus flashes its lights ughhh.

These laws are confusing.. I will just take the school bus to work!

This old rule there are new rule since 2014

Was that last line a threat? I thought the "protect and serve" people were suppose to be friendly

Dude is a fkin nerd 😂😂😂

Old school bus have better desighn

I once saw 2 morons drive past the bus going(i'm guessing) about 80 miles. Yes, some of these rules are stupid. Yes, kids SHOULD be taught how and when to cross the street. Let's be honest, No one is going to cross an intersection or a busy street. Kids are left at a corner and from there they walk home. The 4 lane thing is just bizarre.

youp, when you jump in the front of a truck it is entitely your fault. It' seems you have never been behind the wheel or have any ideea about physics whatsoever. it's the boys fault and more than that, the fault of whomever was in charge of taking care of him.

@0:33 - Need a NEW law to keep IDIOTS from letting animals loose in truck beds! LEAVE FIDO AT HOME OR PLACE INTO A PROPER CARRYING CAGE!

This law is plain stupid. Why in the name of hell would the cars on the opposite side of the road need to stop? It's common sense for a pedestrian to cross the street only when it's free (unless on a crosswalk).

Then when a 10 year old boy gets hit by a truck and dies I guess it will be his fault right? Stupid 10 year old walking in front of a truck.

Idiotic rules, but then you are American…

hard to learn dumb kids to watch when they pass road? HAHAHA dumb muricans.
