I noticed a couple of the earlier cars did not even put one set of wheels over the centerline as they passed. Probably because of that oncoming traffic. Of course, they were not school buses so it mattered less. Thing is... had any part of that bus whacked you... your camera would never have shown it. What it would show is you riding more to the left of the bike lane than in the center or to the right and... ... lawyers being what they are... ...

Perhaps I'm missing something, but (1) there's only one oncoming car in the entire video, and it doesn't conflict with any cars or the bus; and (2) there's a center turn lane, so it wouldn't have mattered anyways.
I kept to the left of the shoulder (it's not a marked bike lane) because there's numerous driveways (
