REMINDER: It is illegal to pass a school bus with its red lights flashing. When you see the red lights flashing, it means children are either getting on or off the bus and may cross the road. Failure to stop for a school bus will cost you $767.50. #SchoolBusSafetyWeek

The @wistatepatrol increased its enforcement efforts this week to help educate motorists about Wisconsin’s Move Over Law. Motorists are required to move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles. The law recently expanded to include stranded motorists. #MoveOverDay
