When is passing a school bus illegal?

  1. When the bus has stopped

  2. When the bus is driving on the highway

  3. When the bus is turning a corner

  4. When the bus is moving too slow

The correct answer is: When the bus has stopped

Passing a school bus is illegal when the bus has stopped to pick up or drop off students. This is to ensure the safety of the students who may be crossing the road to get on or off the bus. The other options are incorrect because - Option B is incorrect because passing a school bus is illegal regardless of where it is driving. - Option C is incorrect because turning a corner does not impact the legality of passing a school bus. - Option D is incorrect because the speed at which the bus is moving is not relevant to the legality of passing it.
