INDIANA  — Indiana State Police are reminding drivers to stop disregarding school buses that have stopped to pick up or drop off students.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Todd Ringle, says school bus drivers across Indiana reported more than 2,500 violations in a single day last month.

A new state law taking effect July 1 allows judges to suspend a driver’s license for 90 days for passing a school bus with its stop arm out. It also increases penalties for repeat violators.

The new law came after three siblings were struck and killed last October in northern Indiana when a pickup driver disregarded a school bus stop arm.
