DS-103

The New York State DMV form DS-103, titled Report of Passing Stopped School Bus, is a legal document used by motor carriers and individuals to report motorists who illegally pass a school bus while it is stopped with its red lights flashing. The form serves as a formal mechanism to document traffic violations that endanger student safety, requiring specific details such as the vehicle's license plate number, make, color, and the exact date, time, and location of the incident.

The document includes dedicated sections for the reporting party to provide contact information, including their name, telephone number, and the associated transportation provider or school district. Once completed, the report must be submitted to the designated DMV address to initiate potential enforcement actions or investigations against the offending driver. This form is a critical component of New York's efforts to monitor and penalize illegal passing maneuvers, ensuring accountability for drivers who violate school bus safety laws.
