You have to stop for schoolbuses when they go into flashy mode until they stop

>>16587595
They wouldn't have ticketed you if you made an attempt to slow down.

>>16587618
>You have to stop for schoolbuses when they go into flashy mode until they stop
Is it like an orange light? Only if its save to do so and you can decelerate safely in time?

>>16587622

The red stop sign the opens out flashes and you are required to stop until it folds back and stops flashing

>>16587595
Absolutely insane that there is a bus stop on that road one, and aside from coming to a screeching panic braking stop and scaring the piss out of any kids dismounting the bus, what do they expect at that speed?

Just another example that the revenue generation meme isn't.

>>16587639
I honestly don't know why it even stopped there. There are no houses or apartments there. Just a gym and kaufman tire.

>>16587641
But there must be some leeway. You can't simply drop anchor and get rear ended.

>>16587595
Youshow up on film around the 4 second mark,
If that roads speed limit is over 40mph you wouldn't have even ran a red light.
That looks unreasonable to expect you to stop for, I'd take it to court.

Welcome to burgeristan

>>16587664
It's 45mph. The road is a major highway, literally peachtree INDUSTRIAL.

I moved in December and don't know what to do.
Not sure if $300 is worth a roundtrip plane ticket or 10 hour drive there and back.

>>16587685

Well, if you never plan on going back ignore it.
Otherwise pay it or hire a lawyer to show up in your name.

>>16587721
I suppose

I still don't understand why it stopped there. If you look up the coordinates there are only businesses there and a hotel with nothing nearby?
>>16587722
It actually stopped outside a trophy and computer store. Looked at the coordinates wrong.

>>16587705

It says they'll send it to a collection agency, plus won't I get a warrant? Does Georgia communicate stuff like that across state lines, idk what I'm saying

Red lights give you a yellow amber that is visible no matter where you are on the road of about 5-6 seconds before it turns red

Why would anyone expect a schoolbus to stop for a drop off on a major industrial highway on the side of the road

Now imagine you are going uphill low to the ground, all the traffic in front you went by, and you didn't see anything

That bus had no additional warning lights, just the folding stop sign. Fully deployed there should be a 5 second window of warning.

Either way I'm still gonna pay it, but I thought I'd share since this could be you one day

>>16587860
Listen dipshit, you saw a school bus stopping ahead of you, it is big and yellow and has FLASHING LIGHTS. You saw it. When you saw it, you should have been mentally prepared for it to deploy the signs for you to stop. Those signs ALSO have flashing lights. YOU are at fault here. Just because a bus stopped where you didn't expect it to does NOT absolve you of blame. You fucked up, OWN UP TO IT.

Because there are bus stops in places you wouldn't expect, people live all over the place genius. If you see a school bus, be ready to stop.

>>16587829
>>16587834
The vast majority of the time, they will not use the sign, so no, it is not the same as a yellow; unless yellows where you live usually turn to green instead of red. There is no definite warning that the sign will deploy. Under normal braking, a car travelling at 45mph will take at least 6 seconds to stop. OP didn't have enough time.

>>16587877
The lights only begin to flash when the sign deploys. They are all controlled by the same switch/handle. There is no warning prior to the sign deploying.

>>16587885
Seeing a school bus stop IS YOUR WARNING

>>16587890
The school bus has two states. Red light, and no light. There is no equivalent to yellow. Presence alone is NOT a warning that it WILL use the sign. There is not absolute warning like there are for traffic lights. By your logic, any pedestrian on the sidewalk is a warning that they may cross in front of you at any point, and any parked car is a warning that they may open their door, so you should never pass one above 20km/h.

>>16587928
>There is no equivalent to yellow.
School bus slowing to a stop = yellow
boom
blown the fuck out

>>16587944
>school bus stops at a stop sign
>doesn't deploy sign because it's leaving immediately
>the act of slowing to a stop was not a warning, just a normal part of driving
You are wrong.

>>16587928

Do the school buses in your state not have the yellow/orange flashing lights? In Ohio, a school bus stop goes like this:

1. Bus begins to pull over
2. Driver activates orange and yellow warning lights
3. Bus stops.
4. Driver opens door which activates stop sign and flashing red lights.
5. Kids get off
6. Bus driver closes door and shuts off red lights
7. bus departs.

There is plenty of warning here. Pay your fine and watch more carefully next time. There is no judge that will reduce or get rid of a school bus fine when there is video evidence like you displayed.

>>16587595
European here, why the hell would you even have to stop for a school bus if you're in the passing lane? Why are school buses even authorized to use stop signs?

Over here, when a school bus turns on their blinker, you must stop or change lanes so that the bus can enter traffic, but why would you have to stop if you're not even in the lane that the bus is trying to get on?

Tell them to do their math.
At highways speeds, from the moment the stop sign went out, to when you passed (like 2/3 seconds) it would be seriously impossible to stop.
even if you slammed on the brakes.

In most cases it goes like this:
>Bus pulls over at either city-bus bus stop
>Unloads passenger(s)
>leaves
Or
>Bus pulls over on residential street
>Unloads passenger(s)
>leaves

In rural areas where there is no crosswalk, then it goes like this:
>Bus pulls over
>deploys sign if passenger(s) need to cross road - this activates flashing red lights automatically
>Unloads passenger(s)
>Close door
>Once passengers clear of road, retract sign and drive off

There are no yellow warning lights. Yellow lights are turn signals. The door and sign/lights are two separate systems used independently of each other because the sign is rarely used or required in-town, where buses see the most use, but are standard equipment for when they are needed.

>>16587966
Also I am >>16588005, and >>16587928, not OP. Just confused why /o/ is being so weird about school buses in this thread.

So you are guilty. You had enough time to stop. It is a civil fine not criminal.. so as long as you don't have your license or any other dealings with that state you don't need to pay it. If you don't pay it and try to get a license you will need to pay it and a shit load of other fines

I have a few speeding cam fnes from MD I need to pay.

>>16588016
I had a bad experience once.

Where I live when a bus slows to stop they have flashing yellows. Once sign goes out they have flashing reds so you do get some warning

>>16588030
Did they send your tickets to collections? Your credit score must be fucked.

>>16588296
Kek 100 bucks in tickets is going to ruin my credit when I have a mortgage, paid off car loans, and charge and payoff about 1500 a month.

I really should pay those fines though.

>school buses can stop traffic pretty much wherever they want, under penalty of a $300 fine

LAND OF THE FREE

School bus laws are bullshit in the US. If the road isn't divided by a curb or barrier, the opposing lane has to stop as well.

>>16588380
But MUH CHILLINS

Its great when there's a crosswalk where the crossing guard is usually talking to someone so you don't know if someone is actually about to cross, and that same crossing guard likes to just run into the road and then throw up the sign and blow the whistle without any warning.

>>16587595
>Bus drivers don't just fucking floor it and drive onto lane

>>16587885
>They will not use the sign
I can't say about where you live, but in my state a bus driver is not allowed to have the door open unless the stop sign is out.

>>16587962
There was no goddamn stop sign there. The bus pulled over to the side of the road; clearly a stop to pick up/drop off students. It's like you're not even trying.

>>16588653
The sign is only used here if the passengers need to cross the road, and there is no crosswalk with pedestrian controlled lights. Doesn't make any sense to stop traffic if nobody is crossing the street.

>>16588673
See pic. The point is that simply slowing to a stop is not a warning that the bus is about to deploy the sign because there are other reasons for a bus to stop. Also - apparently depending on where you are - the sign is not always used when (un)loading, so arguing that a slow or stopped bus is a warning is incorrect; thus >>16587944 is wrong.

>>16587743
Get a traffic layer for $100 it's probably cheaper than the ticket. Most will at least tell you if you got a chance

>>16588714
It means you should pay the fuck attention and be prepared to stop.

The yellow lights don't mean 'stop'. They turn those on all the time. For railroad tracks. When the driver pulls over to take a leak.

It could have helped prove he couldn't see the bus until it was too late.

that bus drivers being stupid

when busses around here have a highway house stop they find a way to get way off the road and they don't flap out the stop sign

you can't expect people to go from 70 to 0 because who knows if the person behind them is paying attention

>Is it like an orange light? Only if its save to do so and you can decelerate safely in time?

In washington state, traffic must stop if the schoolbus stops and extends that stop sign "arm". It has a light on it too. Traffic cannot pass the schoolbus. The schoolbus has a cam to record those who pass the bus and those cars will get extra-expensive tickets.

If the road is NOT a divided road, then traffic in the opposing direction MUST also stop. Yes, that sounds absurd, but they are required to stop and cannot pass the bus even though it is the opposite direction traffic. My grandfather got a ticket for passing the bus on the opposite side of the FIVE lane road (2 lanes of traffic in either direction with white stripes with a center lane marked demarcated with yellow lines for turning).

My grandpa's ticket came from a police officer that happened to be following the school bus doing traffic enforcement. Having police follow a bus is like taking candy from a baby. It's guaranteed that drivers will pass the bus on either side of the road because they don't care or are in a rush. Or they don't remember the law.

>>16587764
>It says they'll send it to a collection agency, plus won't I get a warrant?

My state can but usually does NOT. How it works here is 4 tickets or less, no warrant. They wait for you to show up at a government office needing something. At that time, the computer will flag you.

Some government functions are exempt from flagging due to anti-discrimination lawsuits clearing the way. That's why illegal aliens and blacks with tickets can actually use some government functions despite their status.

Now, here, once FIVE tickets are amassed, and if any one (or more) are older than 6 months, a scofflaw status occurs. Scofflaw status means that the next time there is a ticket, the car is booted if in a parking spot and a tow truck is summoned. If it is a speeding ticket, the car is impounded and will be taken to the impound yard while you go to wherever to clear your record. The car is not driveable and remains in impound racking up fees until you clear your record.

During scofflaw status, the office of the city prosecutor/attorney has the option to take it to a judge and request a bench warrant. THIS is really rare in my city. Just because he can doesn't mean he will. This type of warrant is issued without a court appearance (since you are not there). A bench warrant is still a warrant. Now, as you know, governments in all usa states will act on warrants. So you can be in another state, and you get pulled over for a speeding ticket, the officer routinely runs your name to see if there are any warrants for your detention.

Doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong. Cop wrote you a ticket. You can either pay the fine, not pay the fine and get sent to collections or appeal it in court with an attorney. Either way you're paying. Traffic cops are tax collectors, nothing more.

>>16587860
My mother got a bullshit ticket like kind of like this in Washington DC, a cop pulled her over for a "school bus" that was "stopped on a side road" separated by sidewalk from the road she was actually on in the middle of downtown. And of course he only pulls her over because at the time she drove a baby blue 3rd-gen Taurus that was a model apparently popular with the local gangs and we suspect the cop was profiling. My mother is white as a sheet but the windows were tinted and the car was pretty trashy looking from living in DC for several years.
My mom also claims there literally was no school bus at all which would make sense since it was after school had started that day and in dense morning rush-hour traffic.

She was a government employee and fought the shit out of that ticket, but no dashcam (was not really a thing in 2006) meant she only lost the points and still had to pay the fine.

pay your ticket if you've moved too far away, invest in a dashcam so you don't get fucked again.

>>16593104
I'm fairly certain there are some states in which schoolbuses are not allowed to stop on multilane highways, but try telling the underpaid retired fucks who actually drive the buses that when they've been doing it for decades.

Generally, highways where schoolbuses can stop are usually signed as such and the stops are marked, but I guess not in Jawwjuh.

Nah, sometimes police cars wait by school bus stops and if a car passes by on either side of the road, boom. The cop is on them for a ticket. In my state, if you do that while in a school zone (the signs cover a half mile!!) the penalty is double.
