Abu Dhabi authorities have issued a strong reminder to motorists about strict penalties for violating school bus safety rules. Drivers who fail to stop when a bus extends its red “Stop” sign will face a Dh1,000 fine and 10 traffic points. Officials emphasized that vehicles must remain at least five meters behind a halted bus to ensure children can board or disembark safely. Authorities warned that impatience or moving forward could cause serious accidents, as children often act unpredictably. With thousands of students depending on buses daily, strict compliance is crucial to protecting young passengers.
