An Offense That Is Never Taken Lightly
If you've received a traffic ticket involving a school bus, you face a steep legal challenge. Children's lives may have been at stake, so this is an offense the traffic court will not take lightly. Whether or not the offense was intentional, you can use experienced legal advice.
I Just Didn't See It
Most people do not pass a school bus recklessly. The bus may pull over to let people pass, or the driver might wave cars through before letting kids off. Sometimes the driver of the car simply doesn't see the stop sign extending out from the side of the bus. No matter the circumstances, if a police officer sees you passing a stopped school bus, it is sure to result in a ticket.
Legal Advice Can Help
Each traffic ticket involving a school bus is different, and judges don't often reduce the consequences. Obtaining legal advice from an experienced traffic violations lawyer can be especially important in these cases. Legal advice can make a big difference in maintaining your driving record and keeping your insurance rates reasonable.
