True/False: You may pass a school bus only when its stop sign is down.

• A. False
• B. Only when bus stops sign is down
• C. True
• D. Never pass

Answer: (C)

The key rule here is that you must stop for a school bus when it is signaling to stop, but you may pass only when the bus is no longer signaling to stop. In this question, “the stop sign is down” is interpreted as the bus not signaling to stop (not displaying its extended stop arm and flashing lights). Therefore, passing is permitted once the bus has finished loading/unloading and the stop signal is no longer active. That’s why the statement is true in this context: you pass only when the bus’s stop signal is not out, indicating it’s safe to proceed. Always remember: if the bus has its red lights flashing and the stop arm extended, you must stop; you may pass only after the bus stops signaling and resumes movement.
