School Bus CHP Practice Test

In situations where a vehicle aggressively passes a school bus that has its flashing lights activated, the appropriate response is to report the incident to the police. This is crucial for several reasons. School buses are equipped with flashing lights to signal to all motorists that children are either boarding or disembarking from the bus, making it a critical safety issue. Aggressive driving in this context not only endangers children but also violates traffic laws designed to protect them. By reporting the incident, you help ensure that authorities are aware of unsafe drivers in the area, allowing them to take necessary actions to prevent potential accidents. Engaging with the aggressive driver directly—such as chasing them for information or honking—could escalate the situation and may put the driver and other road users at further risk. Consequently, the only responsible action is to inform law enforcement, who have the capacity to address such dangerous driving behavior through proper investigation and enforcement of the law.
