If a school bus driver encounters adverse driving conditions, how many hours past the 10-hour limit may the driver continue driving?

In situations where a school bus driver faces adverse driving conditions, regulations allow for an extension of the driving limit to ensure safety. The law permits drivers to extend their driving hours by up to two hours beyond the standard 10-hour limit. This is designed to provide drivers with a buffer during challenging situations, such as inclement weather or severe traffic delays, ensuring that they have the necessary time to reach a safe stopping point without compromising safety. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining the wellbeing of both the driver and the passengers on board, as it acknowledges that adverse conditions may require extra caution and time on the road.
