🚨Passing a stopped school bus can cost you $570 & 3 points
🚨A school bus camera citation is $250
🧒But the real cost could be much higher
When the law🚔 says stop🛑, STOP!

🚍Give school buses space🚍
Stay at least 20 feet back from a stopped school bus when its 🚨red lights🚨 are flashing. More space means more room for children to cross safely. #VisionZeroMC #MCPS #MCPSEspanol PIO Pete Piringer #schoolbussafety #backtoschool
