[QUOTE=BarracksSi;9811359]Two lane (that the OP was on) turning onto a FOUR LANE ROAD. The bus can make his turn without crossing much, if at all, into the (empty) lane to the OP's left. They do it all the time around here.

Why do all this to jepordize your safety. Simply wait for the red light. It was a huge bus not a compact. The OP could have done that maybe, but choose not to.
