Passing a School Bus: Passing a School Bus That is Not on the Same Street

vendredi 26 septembre 2014

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: New Jersey



Hi, this is my first time posting here. I am seeking information in regards to my girlfriend who recently got a passing a school bus ticket.



Here is what happened, I'll be as short and clear as I can:



She was driving east on a main road. The road is two lanes both directions. She was in the right lane and passed a school bus which was to her right that was stopped on the corner of a side street facing north (perpendicular). She says she doesn't recall seeing any lights from the school bus but it was also in the morning and the sun was shining bright so she could be wrong. Just up ahead was a police officer on foot in the road signaling her to pull over. She was one of four cars he signaled to pull over all at once and walked by each car saying "your getting a ticket for passing a school bus". That's exactly what she got.



We are not sure what the best course of action is. Everyone has a different opinion on whats right and wrong and what to do. I cannot find any information as to this scenario in the New Jersey DMV booklet. She is about to call and plead "not guilty". Is that advisable, and should we seek a lawyer? She has not had a traffic offense in about 10 years.



Any advice would be appreciated, thank you. -Ray





Her car is indicated with the red arrow passing the school bus facing the main street on the corner as indicated by the yellow.
