Not quite. The answer is No.

Normally, you must stop for a stopped school bus whose red lights are flashing, no matter which direction it is traveling in. In Connecticut, however, there is one exception to this rule: You don't have to stop for a school bus that is stopped on the opposite side of a divided highway. The road must be divided by a non-drivable median or other physical barrier, not just pavement markings. [Right-of-Way, Chapter 4: Road Safety, State of Connecticut Driver's Manual],

Not quite. The answer is passing is allowed if done safely.

Not quite. The answer is In all of the above situations

Use your high beams on unfamiliar roads, in construction areas, or where there may be people alongside the roadway. High beams let you see twice as far as low beams. However, Connecticut law requires you to dim your headlights to low beam whenever you are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or within 300 feet of a vehicle you are following. Also use low beams in fog, rain, or snow. High beams can reflect off such precipitation and cause glare.
