1. In Ohio, what do a school bus's flashing amber (yellow) warning lights mean, before it comes to a complete stop?
Why: Amber lights mean the bus is preparing to stop -- other vehicles aren't required to stop yet but should prepare to. Once the bus fully stops, red lights and (if equipped) a stop arm extend, and stopping becomes mandatory.
2. Besides police and fire vehicles, which of these also requires drivers to move over or slow down under Ohio's Move Over Law?
Why: Ohio's Move Over Law isn't limited to police and fire vehicles -- it also covers tow trucks, snowplows, waste collection vehicles, highway maintenance vehicles, and public utility vehicles, whenever their warning lights are activated.
3. In Ohio, what can happen if you're caught speeding in a work zone?
Why: Ohio doubles the fines for speeding in a work zone and allows for possible jail time, on top of the normal speeding penalty.
4. In Ohio, at what property-damage threshold does a crash require showing proof of insurance?
Why: Ohio requires proof of financial responsibility whenever a crash results in more than $400 in property damage -- a notably low threshold.
