A school district's stop-arm camera records the same vehicle passing a stopped school bus with flashing red lights for the second time within 18 months. What penalty does the vehicle owner face?

Why

Since a 2019 law, school districts and municipalities may use cameras on school bus stop arms to penalize the owner of a vehicle that passes a bus stopped to pick up or drop off passengers with its red lights flashing. The penalties climb with repetition: $250 for a first violation, $275 for a second one within 18 months, and $300 for a third or later one within 18 months. So $250 is the first-offense amount and $300 belongs to the third. In a separate paragraph, the manual also gives the fine for passing a stopped school bus: from at least $250 for a first violation up to $1,000 for three violations in three years, and three convictions in three years bring a license revocation of at least six months.
