Prohibición de adelantar autobuses escolares o de iglesia detenidos

Explicación Simple

Cuando un autobús escolar o de iglesia está parado para dejar o recoger niños, debes detenerte. No puedes seguir hasta que el autobús esté en movimiento otra vez. Esto es para mantener a los niños seguros.

Es como cuando un semáforo está en rojo y debes parar. Si no lo haces, podrías causar un accidente. Aquí, el autobús es como el semáforo rojo que protege a los niños.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Ana va conduciendo por una carretera y ve un autobús escolar parado con las luces encendidas. Ella frena y espera hasta que el autobús se mueva antes de continuar su camino. Si ella decide adelantarlo, podría meterse en problemas.
