Watch Those School Buses
North Carolina motorists
were advised today that state
, law requiring drivers to ex
, ercise extreme caution in the
j presence of school buses was
strengthened by the 1969 Gener
 al Assembly to require addition
: at caution during the school
i year now beginning.
According to David Pruitl,
driver education representative
for Davie, the primary change
in the law will require motorists
| to stop at the first visual in
' dication that a school bus is in
; the process of stopping to dis
[ charge or receive passengers.
In the past, the law had
specified that vehicles ap
proaching or following a school
bus must stop when the bus is
"stopped" and in the process of
receiving or discharging pas
sengers.
Trie new alteration in the law
expands the regulation to re
quire that motorists stop "at
any time while such bus is
displaying its mechanical stop
signal."
"The new regulation," Pruitt
said, "is being interpreted to
|inean that even though the
school bus may be in motion,
leither stopping or starting, it
cannptbe passed in either direc
tor as long as the mechanical
stop signal is displayed."
