A driver must _______ for a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing on the opposite side of the road.

A driver must come to a complete stop for a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing, even if it is on the opposite side of the road. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of children boarding or disembarking from the bus. When the red lights are activated, it indicates that children may be crossing the road, and stopping allows them a safe passage.

In Georgia, the law requires all drivers to come to a complete stop for a school bus with flashing red lights, regardless of which side of the road they are on. This is to avoid any accidents and to protect the most vulnerable road users—children.

Other options do not align with the safety rules established for school buses. For instance, slowing down may not provide enough safety, while continuing to drive can lead to severe consequences, including fines or penalties, and honking the horn is not a necessary or appropriate action in this situation.
