When driving near a school bus that is stopped and displaying flashing red lights, how much distance is required when passing?

75 feet
100 feet
150 feet
200 feet

The correct answer is: 75 feet

When driving near a school bus that is stopped and displaying flashing red lights, it is important to exercise caution and be prepared to stop at any moment. This is because children may be getting on or off the bus. While all of the distances listed in the other options may seem like a considerable distance, the correct answer is 75 feet. This is because it allows for enough space for children to safely get on or off the bus and also helps the driver maintain a safe stopping distance in case of an unexpected situation. Additionally, passing at a distance greater than 75 feet can also be illegal in some states.
