Slow to a speed no faster than 10 mph.

Stop until the lights stop flashing.

Change lanes and pass cautiously.

The flashing overhead lights and stop arm on a school bus will be activated when the bus is stopped to load or unload students. If approaching a bus using these signals, you may not proceed until the red lights have stopped flashing and the stop arm has been retracted. Never pass a school bus that is dropping off or picking up students.

8. Just like alcohol and other drugs, drowsiness can:

Help you to be a better driver.

Make you feel better.

Impair your judgment.
