I Failed To Stop For A School Bus Today, Will Demerit Points Be Taken Off?

Unread post by lissie »

I was driving and as i was trying to pass a city bus, I failed to stop for a school bus with its stop sign out. I didn't even realize it until it honked at me. No cops pulled me over but from the research I've done today, the fine could be from anywhere from $400 to $2000 plus 6 demerit points.

If I was reported by the the bus driver or witness, would I get a ticket in the mail or would the officer show up at my door? How long before this actually happens? Also, would demerit points be involved or would I be charged as owner? Are school buses equipped with cameras now?

Thank you in advance for all your help!

- They would show up the address listed for the vehicle owner.

- Anywhere up to 6 months.

- No demerit points

- The owner of the vehicle would be charged.

You could be fined in this case without demerit points. If the driver reports you, that is all the police needs to mail you a ticket, no video is required.
