Wellington County OPP are reminding motorists that it is against the law to pass a school bus that is at a full stop with its flashing red lights activated.

They say there have been a number of calls made to the OPP about vehicles not stopping for school buses along Wellington Road 124 near Trafalgar Road in Erin, Ont.

OPP say those signals are activated as buses are loading and unloading children on board.

They say they will be actively targeting the area and are encouraging anyone who sees a vehicle pass a school bus to contact Wellington County OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
