New York School Bus Violation Lawyer

When a school bus is stopped, with its red lights flashing, that is an indication that children are either entering or exiting the bus. Unless the bus driver signals you to pass, all drivers must stop and observe the flashing red lights. Violating this traffic rule can lead to devastating penalties.

If you have received a citation for passing a stopped school bus, you must act quickly to protect yourself, your driving record and your right to operate a motor vehicle. A New York school bus violation attorney can provide you with a detailed assessment of your case and your legal options. It is our goal to protect you from the serious penalties that can result from a conviction.
