USA Bus Lines

Ticket for running a school bus that was stopped?

Can anyone tell me how much a ticket would be for running a school bus that was stopped unloading kids in the state of georgia, or does it vary from county as well? what happened was that, there was a wreck about 100 ft and when the bus stopped on side of the road, i stopped to, but i was too busy checking what had happened, when i seen that the accident had been cleared and the police were the only ones there, i went ahead and didnt even realized that the bus was stopped to unload the kids. I felt very bad but then again it was not my intention... =((

1. It varies from state to state but because of the nature of the offense it's usually a pretty stiff fine to discourage you from doing it again.
2. I dont know about Georgia but here in Liberal California, its about $500+ Dollars as it is also considered endangering children and wreckless behavior. Even if it doesn't have a stop sign, if it has a solid red brake light on the side of the road, you have to stop.
3. $500 in Texas.
4. Ouch.
