And so you should stop. i'm not trying to pick on you or anyone else, I just want to reinforce the point about saftey when it comes to school buses and kids. Regardless if you were right or wrong in passing a school bus, just imagine how you would feel if you made little-johnny-bus-rider part of your front grill as he ran out to the bus.
Just remember the onus is on each driver all the time to drive safely. No one has "the right of way". The traffic laws are written on a very simple premises of saftey first. There are two phrases in the HTA that keep re-appearing: "...if the movement can be made in saftey" and "...if it is safe to do so...".
I just dont want to see anyone get injuried or killed by driving wrecklessly because they think they can beat a ticket in court.
