Police are reminding everyone to plan ahead and give yourself extra time to get to work on Tuesday as kids head back to school and the buses will be running.
OXFORD COUNTY - Kids get set to head back to school next week and the OPP is reminding everyone to stop for school buses.
Passing a school bus with the lights flashing is a very dangerous act that could have had fatal consequences if an innocent child is crossing the roadway. Police are reminding all drivers to slow down and to pay attention to the roadway.
Drivers approaching a stopped school bus from the front with its overhead red signal-lights flashing shall stop in front of the school bus and not pass until the signals are turned off and the bus moves.
If you lent out your vehicle, you can be charged as well based on your licence plate number and it's a hefty fine. The first fine ranges from $400 to $2,000 and then if you get busted a second time the minimum fine is $1,000 with a maximum of $4,000.
You will also lose 6 Demerit Points on your drivers licence.
