School buses with bus air conditioner units stop frequently. They usually stop at all marked stop or yield signs and railroad crossings. They also stop to unload and load.
Step 4: Keep a safe distance from the back of a school bus.
Keep at least 10 feet (3 m) between you and the school bus that equipped with a rooftop mounted ac units for school bus at all times, to allow for stops. Watch the bus' brake lights to ensure you start to brake immediately when necessary.

Step 5: If necessary, stop and wait while a school bus with bus air conditioning system is loading or unloading.
If the school bus with bus air conditioning system has red flashing lights and/or an extended stop sign, this means it is loading or unloading children. If it has yellow flashing lights, it indicates that it is slowing down in order to stop. Most school bus related fatalities occur when drivers attempt to pass a school bus with rooftop mounted electric ac units for bus illegally. Consider if the consequences of passing a stopped or slow school bus are worth the risk of death.
Step 6: Do not pass a school bus while driving, unless there is plenty of room in another lane and you have full visibility.
Passing on the left is permitted in multiple lane roadways. Ensure there are no warning lights and check all mirrors repeatedly, because putting your own car in danger also endangers children.
Do not pass school buses on the right hand side. This is where all loading and unloading happens.
Step 7: Understand that school buses have large blind spots.
Although they have big mirrors, they may not be able to see you clearly. Slow down and allow the bus with
air conditioning system for electric bus to switch lanes if the bus begins to flash its blinkers.
Step 8: Begin driving again when the flashing lights are turned off and the mechanical stop sign arm is retracted.
Start with a slow speed and maintain your distance. Keep in mind that most school zones have a speed limit of approximately 15 mph (24 km/h).
Step 9: Pay attention to bus driver hand signals.
Watch for hand motions from the left driver's window. If the driver expects to stop for an extended period of time, there may be hand signals telling you to go around the bus on the left very carefully.
Step 10: Stop before the crosswalk lines at all crosswalks around a school bus stop.
Driving around school buses means there are usually more pedestrians. Stop signs should be anticipated and heeded, especially when a school bus with
full electric bus air conditioner has loaded or unloaded students.
Step 11: Recognize that children are unpredictable.
They may not understand the safety concerns associated with walking and picking up dropped items near crosswalks and cars. Always look out very carefully before beginning to move through traffic behind a school bus.
