2 Answers
According to regulations, failing to yield to a school bus as required while driving a motor vehicle will result in a deduction of 6 points. Below is relevant information about encountering a stopped school bus while driving: Waiting situations in different lanes: When a school bus stops on a road with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, vehicles behind must stop and wait, and are not allowed to overtake. When a school bus stops on a road with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, vehicles behind the school bus's lane and in adjacent lanes must stop and wait, while vehicles in other lanes should slow down and pass. Precautions: Vehicles stopped behind a school bus must not honk or use lights to urge the school bus to move. School buses have special status and absolute priority.
When driving, if you fail to yield to a school bus as required, you'll get 3 points deducted at once—this is a hard lesson I learned from traffic rules. Children's safety comes first. When a school bus flashes its yellow lights to pick up or drop off students, drivers must stop and wait; otherwise, it's a violation. I often remind friends around me not to be careless—the fine is usually 200 yuan, and with points deducted, it's just not worth it. If you ignore this for a long time and accumulate too many points, your driver's license could be at risk. Actually, it's quite simple—make it a habit to actively yield to school buses when you see them. It's safer and saves trouble. Stay updated with official changes; the rules have been revised a few times, but I remember them clearly.
