The driver cannot start moving until the red lights have stopped flashing, the stop arm has been retracted and the bus has started to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fines for not stopping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 First offence $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Each following offence, $1,000 to $4,000, six demerit points and possible jail time, (up to six months)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To report motorists who fail to stop for school buses call 1-888-310-1122 or 9-1-1 in an emergency.
