School Bus Safety Reminder - Flashing Red Lights

The Halifax Police Department would like to remind drivers that it is illegal to pass a school bus while the red lights are flashing. Massachusetts law provides a fine of $250 dollars for a first offense and up to $2,000 dollars for subsequent offenses to include a license suspension. We have received complaints of people disregarding the red flashing lights, this is not only against the law it is extremely dangerous.
