It amazes me that it wasn't always true.

In most states I have been in, passing a stopped schoolbus with the lights flashing ranks right up with DUI as an offense.

Hitting someone when you have flashing lights warning you that someone is crossing is a higher degree of negligence than hitting someone who crosses without notice.
It should bring a much higher penalty.

Yep. All she got was 100 hours of community service.

We just visited Costa Rica, and no one passed school buses, ever.
