A school bus driver realizes they drove past a student's scheduled unloading stop on the route without letting them off. What does the AAMVA CDL Manual say to do?

AAMVA CDL Manual, Section 10.2.3 – Unloading Procedures on the Route, p. 10-4 (July 2017 revision); 49 CFR §383.123(a)(1)

Backing up a large vehicle to fix a missed stop sounds like a quick correction, but it creates a new, serious hazard in an area where children may already be walking home. The manual's rule removes guesswork from a stressful moment by giving drivers one clear instruction: never back up, and let the school's established procedure handle the rest.
