Big fines for passing school buses

Now that school is back in session, Vermont State Police have issued their annual warning to motorists that failing to brake for a stopped school bus can result in big fines. Vehicles on both sides of the road must stop for school buses displaying red lights. Trooper Thomas Mozzer said police have received numerous complaints about cars on Route 4 during morning bus routes. Failing to stop can result in a $243 fine and five points on your license.
