School Bus Driving Law

Apparently drivers need a reminder about how to drive around a school bus. If the bus lights are flashing, drivers shouldn’t be passing. Local law enforcement in Johnson City is taking measures to keep kids and their families safe as they get on and off the school bus.“The school bus drivers have been noticing more people passing the stopped school buses when they’ve been loading and offloading students,” said Lt. Becky West of the Johnson City Police Department.Tennessee state law requires all drivers to come to a complete stop at a safe distance from a stopped school bus while driving in the same direction.
