According to the Road Traffic Safety Violation Scoring Rules (Article 14), drivers who fail to yield to school buses as required will be penalized with 6 points per violation. If no incident occurs but the violation is detected by traffic police, 6 points will be deducted. However, if a collision occurs, the driver may also face criminal liability as per the law. More details are as follows: 1. Article 33 of the 'School Bus Safety Management Regulations' stipulates that when a school bus stops to pick up or drop off students on the road, it must park on the right side of the road, activate the hazard warning lights, and display the stop sign. 2. When a school bus stops on a road with only one 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 lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the lane behind the school bus and in adjacent lanes must stop and wait, while vehicles in other lanes should slow down and pass. 3. Vehicles waiting behind a school bus must not honk or use lights to urge the school bus. School buses have special status and absolute priority. Many students have poor self-control, and improper handling can easily lead to accidents. In the future, the enforcement of this regulation will be strengthened, and it is hoped that drivers will consciously yield to school buses.
