In the situation in which you encounter a school bus that stops, whether or not it has the hazard warning lights on, you must drive with increased attention because children are unpredictable and may cross without making sure.

The road traffic legislation in Romania does not oblige stopping in this situation. If the driver of the school bus puts into operation the hazard warning lights, he does it to warn the other road users that this constitutes a danger for the other road users, and from the point of view of preventive conduct the reduction of speed and the increase of attention is recommended.

The correct answer is: B

Recommendations:

The correct use of the lighting and signalling system --> Road Traffic Code - The technical condition of vehicles and the lighting and luminous signalling system

Preventive driving course --> Preventive driving course

Regulation** - Article 114
