When approaching a school bus stopped on the street with red flashing lights activated, what should you do?

Slow down as you pass
Change lanes and pass it quickly
Come to a full and complete stop
Increase speed to pass the bus quickly

The correct answer is: Come to a full and complete stop

When approaching a school bus stopped on the street with red flashing lights activated, it is important to come to a full and complete stop. This is because the flashing red lights indicate that children are getting on or off the bus, and they may be crossing the street. So, it is important to stop and wait until all children have safely crossed before proceeding. Options A and D suggest that you should continue to move or even increase your speed, which would put the children at risk. Option B suggests quickly changing lanes, which could also be dangerous and potentially cause an accident. The safest option is to come to a complete stop and proceed only when it is safe to do so.
