Historic Plate Use

We are presently involved in a situation where a old school bus was converted to a mobile hunting camp . Is is parked on the owners property and hasn't moved in years .

Re: Urgent,Failed to stop while school bus was moving

I'm as confused about this school bus stopping as you are i was recently driving down a road 80 km per hour seen a bus coming towards me it activated its lights , i put my brakes on and stopped . To my disbelief the bus drove right past me . I think the bus should be at a complete stop before activating its flashing lights yet it says on the back of the bus fine is xxx for passing when lights are flashing . It is no wonder people drive by school bus's the law is so mis leading who knows what is right.
