- I remember back quite a few years... about 5 years before I was old enough to
- drive, there was a news item in the media somewhere, about a police or
- sheriffs district that had a school bus and was parking it on the side of
- the road with the `Stop When Red Lights Are Flashing' Lights flashing for
- most of the afternoon. The would then go and ticket every driver who got
- a bit impatient and decided to drive around the bus after noticing that
- there was absolutely no activity at all taking place on or off the bus.
-
- B is the answer they are looking for, but I would hazard to guess that if
- you made a legal U-turn 100 yards or so back, that would be fine, or if the
- bus was vacant and you sat there for 10 minutes waiting... a judge might also
- through out a ticket if you then decided to drive around the bus.
