madi

its a mistake, every human alive makes mistake, dont freak out...Theres been much worse, just keep a look out next time.....hope every thing turns out ok!!

romaster456

Wait and see. Bus drivers dont usually do that

hails

just...dont panic lol
if he does...hes a bad driver for handling it with the rage he did.
he has many kids in his care and using rage was a BAAAd idea.

He's not gonna do anything! No need to worry! he probably didn't have time to get your plate! just don't do it again! Everybody makes mistakes!

cool dude :)

I doubt the bus driver got your license plate number, just relax. Only time can tell though

At this point, what is done is done. If you saw the bus number, you could always find out who drives it and apologize to them or go to the school district and give them a letter to give to the bus driver apologizing for your actions. Sadly, because this happens semi frequently, I don't think he/she will remember your specific car

Boomer ~thanks Pilot!

The driver should of had his stop sign out as soon as he stopped, if he didn't it is his fault and I'm sure he knows it.
Same thing happened to me and I was never contacted about it

Don't worry, you will be fine.

It is the bus driver's responsibility to have the stop sign out and the flashing light on to signal that the bus in stopped and children are getting on the bus. That happened to me once and I got out and told the driver that he needed to have the sign out.

If it was truly an accident then there is nothing you can do about it. If you are really worried about it take another route. BUT if that is your route you KNOW that bus stops there every day around the same time and you should be prepared for it!!!!

It is obvious you don't live in LA because when I stop for that sign everyone honks at ME!!!!

lushlips05

I've done that what are you supposed to do slam on your brakes and block the kids pathway? Hopefully they didn't get your plates! Its a hefty fine!

forget about it

You got a scare and now you'll probably be a super aware and safe driver. If you did get a visit from the police the best thing is to own up and be very remorseful. They are humans too. They might issue a ticket but chances you'll get a warning and the bus driver was probably too busy and didn't have a pen and paper right there.
I'm glad no one was hurt.

you will have to get in a time machine and go back and do it over again ... or else you just have to live with it.

ematzkow

don't worry about it just don't let it happen again

DaBrat

You say that as if you see this same bus a lot. If you do than what I would do is the next time you see him pull over, walk to the bus, tell him what you did and why. Let him know it was an accident and you never did anything like that before and never will again and how sorry you are and how bad you have been feeling about it. You will be amazed at how wonderful people respond to that sort of honesty and remorse. But from now on when driving behind a school bus be really careful.

the bus drops the kids of at the same time every day just go a little later

HIDE FROM THE BUS DRIVER

It's the bus driver's responsibility to ensure the childrens safety, number one. Once the bus driver stops and gets ready to unload or load passengers, they must make sure that there is no cars coming at the time. If I understand you correctly, the driver just put out the sign (which in effect, turned on the no passing lights), just as you were going by. You're okay. You couldn't or shouldn't just slam on your brakes. Just intuit next time you get close to a stopped bus, that the sign is about ready to come out.

Next time when you approach a school bus, slow down and prepare to stop. No, the bus driver can't really do much, except the police can, writes you a ticket. Just look at it lesson learn, no one has gotten hurt.

Karen P

just hope that the bus driver didn't see your license plate or maybe she didn't because she cant write it down and drive at the same time.and she will probably wont even remember u so next time just be careful.

bungee

if the cops haven't visited you by now you are most likely o.k. don't worry about next time just change your route and time for a few days

infoman6617

so now i guess you no how not to pass a school bus.. paint your car maybe that will fool them

2 cents

Donate 10 percent of your next pay check to -------- ------- ---- ------- ---that space is for who ever you want to give your money to,it was an honest mistake.. ..I can tell...but if you feel that bad about it,do some charitable stuff,or donate your time..don't let it hinder you.As a matter of fact I'm talking to God right now and he says he seen every thing, and the bus driver loves when people do that so he can blow his horn,plus he drinks a lot of coffee and is a little paranoid.your cool.

little_heaven22

they may already have your plate number. a lot of school buses now a days have a camera on them that take pictures of the plates and the cameras are small enough that passing by you can not see them. I say you should stop and wait if a bus has there lights flashing.

gabe_devil

dont worry about it, of he dose try to take you into court he has nothing.

Trace

Wait, the bus' stop sign wasn't out and you were already in front of it? What's the problem? No kids were around either? No harm, no foul. The bus driver must be having a bad day is all. You did nothing wrong. Go on with your day and don't worry about it. It's highly doubtful the driver got your plate number since he/she was too busy road raging and blowing the horn. He/she should be reported, not you.

Ha its ok, everybody makes mistakes sometimes. I remember once when I was riding my bus somebody did that, the bus driver's window was open and she stuck her hand out and pointed at the car when it drove by and honked. The guy looked at her like she was crazy but he got the point.
Don't worry though, she probibly won't take your license plate number down though just as long as you don't do that again. So be more careful and always remember,
to buckle up! :)

diegog5

Well first of all there is nothing you can do becuase you dont know if the buss driver will report you. If you worry to much it will just make things worst. I would just try to foget about it, after all it was an accident. Dont feel guilty either.

ohhh hun don't worry.... we all have done something stupid while driving .....un-intentional things! and it doesn't seem like you would run the stop sign on the school bus intentionally. don't worry just be more careful next time... and since you've passed it once now when you see a bus you will probably be more opt to being more careful around them.

Rita

Don't worry about it. There are bigger things to worry about in life. He won't even recognize your car the next time he sees it. Just next time stop. No biggie. :) You can start fresh tomorrow.
