N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 218.50
RECEIVING OR DISCHARGING SCHOOL BUS PASSENGERS.
The motor vehicle law provides that it is unlawful for [a school bus1
driver2 to stop3 and receive, or to discharge passengers] or for any
[principal or superintendent of any school bus driver, routing a school
bus, to authorize the driver of any school bus to stop and receive, or to
discharge passengers] on a public road divided into two roadways, where
passengers would be required to cross the public road to reach their
destination or to board the bus.4
A violation of this law is negligence within itself.
