When approaching a bus marked as school transport that is stopped picking up or dropping off passengers, how should the driver act?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on the safety principle regarding vulnerable road users. Traffic regulations stipulate that you must moderate your speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle when approaching a stopped school transport bus. This is due to the unpredictability of children, who might run onto the road while hidden by the bus. The option to 'always stop until the bus moves' is incorrect as it unnecessarily impedes traffic if there is no immediate danger, and 'flashing lights' is not the required safety measure in this specific situation.
