SCHOOL BUS SAFETY PROGRAM TICKETS

Ensuring the safety of children as they board and exit school buses is a top priority in Miami and across Florida. It is illegal to drive around a stopped school bus with flashing red lights and an extended STOP arm, with stringent penalties in place to enforce this law. As of May 2024, new enforcement measures have been implemented, and drivers who pass a stopped school bus will face a $200 fine. Navigating these fines can be challenging, but with expert legal assistance, you can protect your driving record and contest the ticket effectively.

Why You Need Legal Assistance

The penalties for violating school bus safety laws are stringent. When a school bus flashes yellow lights, drivers must reduce speed and come to a complete stop once the lights turn red, maintaining a distance of at least 15 feet behind the bus. This buffer zone ensures students can safely board and exit the bus. While the fines for non-compliance are hefty, they are not set in stone and can be challenged. This is where our specialized legal services come into play. Our team is adept at navigating the complexities of traffic law, providing you with the best defense to contest and potentially overturn these fines.

Advanced Enforcement Measures

In 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 766, authorizing Florida school districts to install cameras on school buses to catch and fine drivers who pass stopped school buses illegally. In May 2024, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), in partnership with BusPatrol and the Miami-Dade Police Department, began enforcing these regulations. Each of the district’s 1,065 school buses are now equipped with high-resolution cameras and AI technology to capture violations.
