Failing to Stop for a School Bus in Las Vegas, Nevada

If you are in Las Vegas, you can get pulled over for failing to stop for a school bus. The school bus driver will activate a flashing red signal with or without a stop sign that extends to the side of the bus. You cannot pass until the school bus driver turns off the flashing red stop light signal and retracts the stop sign. A driver passing a school bus with the lights on can get a traffic violation for such an offense.

In Nevada, this charge is a misdemeanor traffic offense in Las Vegas and other parts of the state. It could help to hire a defense lawyer. For a first-time offense without legal counsel, your traffic ticket will include fines and points against your license. A second conviction means a suspension of your driver’s license. While you may have a good defense for your traffic charge, you might want an experienced lawyer to help you. A Nevada attorney might help reduce charges to a non-moving offense.
