What should you do when you approach a stopped school bus with red lights flashing?

Immediately slow down
Apply your brakes and flash your headlights
Increase your speed and pass quickly
Move to another lane and pass cautiously

The correct answer is: Move to another lane and pass cautiously

When approaching a stopped school bus with red lights flashing, you should follow the bus's lead and move to another lane if possible. Passing the bus quickly can put children's safety at risk and is illegal in most states. Flouting rules by increasing speed, flashing headlights, or making sudden movements with your car can result in a hefty fine. It is the driver's responsibility to ensure the safety of the students while crossing the street, so it's crucial to proceed with caution and follow traffic laws when approaching a school bus.
