Fire engine or school bus: who has right of way?
消防车路权大还是校车路权更大？
What it is
Dashcam clips of drivers meeting school buses and emergency vehicles, with captions narrating what happens. In one, the camera car brakes and waits behind a school bus that has pulled in with its stop sign out.
Why it is trending
Driving-rules videos are a staple of Chinese car channels, and the question in the title starts arguments. It drew more than 7,000 comments.
Many of the top comments say they have seen a school bus only once or never, and some joke that now they know the fine they will report other drivers.
What the rules say
| Fire engines on an emergency call | May ignore routes, speed limits and traffic lights when safe; other vehicles and pedestrians must give way (Road Traffic Safety Law, art. 53). Without lights and siren on a call, they get no priority. |
|---|---|
| A school bus stopping for pupils | Pulls in on the right with hazard lights and stop sign. On a one-lane road, traffic behind must stop and may not overtake; on wider roads, its lane and the next lane stop, others slow down. No honking or flashing to hurry it (School Bus Safety Regulations, art. 33). |
| Penalty for not yielding to a school bus | ¥200 fine (art. 52) and 3 points on your licence (down from 6 since April 2022). |
