As school bells ring to kick off the the academic year this week, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are reminding motorists of the I STOP you STOP school bus safety campaign.
Motorists must stop for school buses with their stop lights activated.
Remember, drivers:
- Focus 100 per cent of your attention on the road and put away unnecessary distractions.
- Slow down in school zones and respect the posted speed limit. There will be a high volume of students travelling between home and school by bus, on foot and by bicycle.
- Be aware of school buses with their flashing lights activated. The fine for passing a school bus with its lights activated is $490 minimum and six demerit points.
