Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 12.060
Approaching Driver’s Duty of Care
The presence of a school bus [taking on; preparing to take on; preparing to discharge; discharging;
having discharged] children is sufficient to put an approaching driver on notice that children may be
near the bus and imposes on him a duty to exercise a degree of care in keeping with those
circumstances.
If a driver fails to perform this duty, then he is negligent.
