Damned schoolbus.....

I completely forgot that school went back Friday, and didn't plan my ride around the time they aren't on the road.

Coming up the road and a schoolbus passes me, then cuts me off into a turn lane that I was at the beginning of. I had to hit brakes to keep from hitting the bus. He whips over and pulls the stop sign immediately. Kids weren't even standing up yet, so I went to the middle of the street and passed the bus as I am shooting the driver my "you dumbass, just about killed me" look.

Just then, a driver stopped the other way berates me for not seeing the big yellow schoolbus with stop sign.....

So then as I continue on the bus is behind me. We turn onto a state highway, plenty of room to pass. He waits till we get to the bike lane a mile down the road, passes me with about 50 feet to his next stop, and pulls the stop sign. Of course, this time he was on the side I had to stop for the kids safety. (here kids don't cross the street in front of the bus) From that point on, he made sure to stay in front of me to pull the sign every other driveway, while I waited.

If the jerk off had just waited on me the first damned time I would have been gone down the road. Or the second....or the third.....

I honestly want to call the bus barn on the guy, got the bus number, but afraid that running the stop sign will trump his stupidity.
