As a result of an investigation, a 39-year-old from Guelph was charged with failing to stop for a school bus.
In a press release, police said it is illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped, has its arm extended, and its red lights are flashing.
“Not only is passing a stopped school bus illegal and dangerous, but it could also result in a $400-$2,000 fine and six demerit points.”
