Passing a School Bus in Connecticut

Help from Top CT Traffic Infraction Attorneys

In Connecticut, it is illegal to pass a stopped school bus when its stop sign is out and its warning lights are flashing. When the school bus activates its warning lights, vehicles on both sides of the road are required to pull over and come to a complete stop until children have been safely unloaded and the bus turns off its lights. Failing to stop for a school bus is a violation of Connecticut General Statute Section 14-279 and comes with a hefty fine of up to $500 for a first offense. That fine can reach up to $1,000 for a second offense, along with a potential 30-day jail sentence.

If you have been issued a ticket for passing a school bus in Connecticut, it is a good idea to contact an attorney at The Sills Law Firm for legal guidance. While you may be tempted to just pay the fine and move on, you should know that doing so is an admission of guilt and will result in an automatic 4-point penalty on your driving record from the Connecticut DMV. Furthermore, it will likely result in a significant increase in your auto insurance premiums. We encourage you to contact our firm to request a free case evaluation during which we can discuss the events leading up to the issuance of your ticket and determine if you have cause to fight it.
