What is the penalty for JOL holders who fail to stop for a school bus with flashing lights?

The penalty for Junior Operator License (JOL) holders who fail to stop for a school bus with flashing lights is a fine of $500 and the potential for suspension of the license. This harsh consequence reflects the importance placed on the safety of children boarding or disembarking from school buses. School buses are equipped with flashing lights to indicate that children are present and that drivers must stop. Violating this law not only endangers children but also shows a disregard for established traffic regulations.

The significant fine, along with the potential for a suspension, serves as a deterrent to ensure that all drivers, especially younger and less experienced JOL holders, adhere strictly to traffic safety rules surrounding school buses. This penalty aims to foster responsibility and awareness of the risks involved in disregarding safety measures on the road.
