Q: How long it usually takes to get a citation like that? And would it show on your DL record right away?
And should one get a citation if he didn't stop when a school bus was stopped before the intersection and the person was on the other road, going perpendicularly to the bus. Should one stop or can he go? I've seen people going, while others stopped. Could one get a citation for not stopping? (The car was not following the bus, nor a part of the incoming traffic, it was moving on a different road, perpendicularly to that one where the school bus was stopped)
A:
The Minnesota Statute making it a crime to disregard a school bus stop arm appears to apply to vehicles on the same road as the school bus. See, Minn. Stat. Sec. 169.444

No driving or vehicle -related crime or violation will be certified to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for inclusion in the drivers license record unless there is first a conviction.
