The foollowing paragraph was taken from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation:
"The penalties for illegally passing a stopped school bus were doubled in 1997. For a first offence, the penalty for not complying with the law is a fine of $400 to $2000 and the assessment of six demerit points. For a second conviction, the fine is $1000 to $4000, and the assessment of six demerit points, as well as the option of a jail sentence."
