If you are approaching a stopped school bus from the rear, what should you do?

Stop at least 25 feet away
Make a U-turn
Slow down and continue driving
Sound your horn

The correct answer is: Stop at least 25 feet away

Approaching a stopped school bus from the rear can be dangerous because children may be crossing the road to get on or off the bus. That's why it is important to stop at least 25 feet away from the bus. This gives the children ample space to enter and exit the bus safely. Options B and D are not recommended as they can be hazardous to the children and other drivers on the road. Option C is also not a safe choice as slowing down may not give enough time to react if a child suddenly crosses the road. So, the best course of action is to stop at a safe distance behind the school bus.
