Is it illegal to pass a school bus with its red lights flashing?

  1. No

  2. Yes, if you are driving in the opposite direction

  3. Yes, always

  4. No, but only if you are in the same lane

The correct answer is: Yes, always

Possible Explanation Passing a school bus while its red lights are flashing is considered illegal in all situations. This is because the flashing red lights indicate that children are getting on or off the bus, and it is important for all vehicles to stop and proceed with caution to ensure the safety of the children. Options A and D are incorrect because they suggest that it is never illegal to pass a school bus, which is not true. Option B is incorrect because it implies that it is only illegal if you are driving in the opposite direction, whereas in reality it is illegal for all vehicles regardless of their direction of travel.
