Regardless, the OP indicated that the yellow (i.e. hazard) lights were the ones flashing.

Re: A question about tires poking past the fender
I'm no lawyer, but here is how I would interpret it: Basically if somebody driving behind you is getting sprayed, that's a problem.
Mudflaps, body size, magic force fields, the mechanism doesn't matter.

Re: Stopped Short at Bus Stop
From a legal perspective, there are very strong odds that nothing will come of this.
Take it as a lesson about the extreme importance of focusing on driving, and only on driving, while behind the wheel.
