What should you do if you encounter a school bus with its amber lights flashing?

  1. Slow down and proceed with caution.

  2. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing.

  3. Pass the bus quickly on the left side.

  4. Pass the bus slowly on the right side.

The correct answer is: Slow down and proceed with caution.

If you encounter a school bus with its amber lights flashing, you should slow down and proceed with caution. This is because the amber lights indicate that the bus is about to stop to pick up or drop off passengers. Therefore, it is important to drive carefully and be prepared to stop if the bus does without alarming the passengers. The other choices are incorrect because stopping and waiting until the lights stop flashing (option B) is only necessary when the bus has its red lights on and the stop sign arm extended. Passing the bus quickly on the left side (option C) is dangerous and illegal as you could hit pedestrians or the bus driver. Passing the bus slowly on the right side (option D) is also not recommended as students may be crossing the road to get on or off the bus.
