PENALTIES INCREASED FOR PASSING SCHOOL BUSES IN WV - Minimum $500 Fine

(03/26/2019)

West Virginia has added additional penalties for passing a stopped school bus with flashers. Despite earlier penalties, state officials say several hundred motorists violate the law daily. Violators would see minimum fines doubled to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for a second offense under the bill. It also carries a maximum six-month jail term. The bill also would double driver's license suspensions to 60 days for a first offense and 180 days for a second offense. It also requires exterior cameras on the front and back of all county school buses bought after July.
