Tennessee Permit Practice Test

Vehicles stopped behind a school bus when the red lights are flashing must remain stopped until:

1. All students are off the bus

2. The stop arm is retracted

3. The bus resumes motion

4. The driver honks the horn

The correct answer is: The bus resumes motion

When a school bus has its red lights flashing, it signifies that it is either picking up or dropping off students. Vehicles stopped behind a school bus must remain stopped until the bus resumes motion. This is crucial for the safety of the children getting on or off the bus. It is important to wait until the bus starts moving again to ensure that all the children have safely crossed the road and are out of harm's way. Therefore, the correct answer is waiting for the bus to resume motion.
