Why should a school bus driver avoid activating the red lights and stop arm except when actually loading or unloading students?

Pick an answer

1. It is only a concern on rural routes with light traffic

3. It drains the bus battery too quickly when used at any other time, so the lights are saved for real stops only
4. It has no real downside and can be used at any time
