Yesterday while passing through a school zone, I stopped behind a parked schoolbus. When the bus driver retracted the stop sign I proceeded around the buss. At that moment another driver bringing their child to the bus stop pulled up and the driver opened the door to the bus to admit the school child. I am concerned that I will be issued a ticket for passing a stopped school bus.
You are required by Georgia law to stop your vehicle behind a parked school bus with its stop sign extended. When the stop sign is retracted you are permitted to continue on your journey.
If you were issued a ticket at that time, you would have reasonable grounds to argue that you are not guilty of the violation. Many school buses in Georgia carry video cameras that would either support your situation or support an argument against it.
If you had issues with failure to stop for school bus, contact traffic ticket defense attorney Scott Miller in Alpharetta, GA. 770-408-1001

- Attorney Scott recently represented me and my mother both for traffic ticket charges. In both cases he got my mothers charge and my charge dismissed. He is a wonderful attorney and also a wonderful person. I can’t recommend him enough! Regina: Marietta, GA.
- I was moving along with the speed of traffic when I was pulled over. I was frightened, this was my first ticket ever. The police officer gave me a super speeder ticket. Attorney Miller got my speed reduced and my ticket dismissed. Hooray Attorney Miller, I will refer all my friends and family to you! Roeween: Buford GA.
- I was arrested for street racing in Alpharetta. Scott had helped me previously with a speeding ticket I called Attorney Miller when I was released from jail. Scott worked with the court and got my charge reduced. I had to pay a fine and go to traffic school. Simon
