A driver must _______ for a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing on the opposite side of the road.

  1. come to a complete stop

  2. honk their horn

  3. slow down

  4. switch to another lane

The correct answer is: come to a complete stop

If a driver encounters a school bus that is stopped on the opposite side of the road with its red lights flashing, they must come to a complete stop. This is because the flashing red lights indicate that students are either entering or exiting the bus and may need to cross the road. Honking their horn or just slowing down may not provide enough warning for the driver to safely stop for the students. Switching to another lane is also not a safe option as a student may be crossing the road from that lane. Therefore, coming to a complete stop is the safest and most appropriate action for the driver to take in this situation.
