Stopping For A School Bus
I have taken the school bus for years and i know when the driver sees someone pass while their stop sign is out they will write down the license plate #. A couple of days ago I was driving home and the school bus was just stopping and it's sign was just starting to come out. I was right in front of the bus and slowed down instinctively but decided i could not stop safely b/c of ice and there was another driver behind me so i proceeded. I do not think i blatantly ran the sign b/c if i had stopped i would have stopped at the end of the bus, just because of the timing of when the bus driver had started putting out the stop sign. As i was slowing down i notice the driver was staring at me and I was curious if she did report me, how does fighting a ticket like this work? I mean there was no way i could stop ahead of the bus and she had started putting out the sign as i was passing the bus. Any thoughts?
