Can you take defensive driving for passing a school bus?
I got a ticket for passing a school bus when it had the stop sign out. Two years ago, I got a speeding ticket, but I could get a point reduction on my license by taking a defensive driving course. Can I do the same for passing a school bus?

Oh no! You can’t pass a school bus without getting
significant points on your license
! Because this offense endangers children, you typically cannot take defensive driving for passing a school bus, although you’ll have to check the rules in your state to be sure.Unlike speeding or running a red light, state laws put the safety of children above anything. Take this as a learning experience. Don’t do it again.
Since you’ve had a few tickets in the past few years, your car insurance rates are likely to increase. If that happens, do yourself a favor and shop around for competitive rates with the
