If you drive a motor vehicle without following the regulations to give way to a school bus, you will be given a score of 3 points according to the Traffic Management and Punishment Regulation for Violations of the Road Traffic Law.
Driving a motor vehicle without giving way to a school bus as required by regulations means the following:
- When a school bus stops on the road to pick up or drop off students, other vehicles must stop and wait on the right side of the road, and turn on their hazard lights and stop signs.
- When a school bus is stopped on a road with only one lane for vehicles going in the same direction, vehicles behind it must stop and wait, and no vehicle may overtake.
- When a school bus is stopped on a road with two or more lanes for vehicles going in the same direction, vehicles in the lane behind the bus and adjacent lanes must stop and wait, while other vehicles must slow down and pass by safely.
It is important to note that school buses have the right of way and other vehicles must not honk their horns or use their lights to催促them.
