In other words you were going in the opposite direction from where the bus was unloading passengers, and that you pulled out into traffic from that gas station (I know which one you are talking about) right where they were loading/unloading...LarryH wrote:According to the El Lago municipal court site, "passing a school bus" isn't one of those offenses you can settle with defensive driving.
I didn't actually notice the bus. I'm pretty sure that I never left the far right lane after exiting the gas station, so I'm also pretty sure (98% or more) that the bus wasn't on my side of the road.
Along that stretch, NASA 1 has no median and consists of three lanes in each direction, plus a central left turn lane. IIRC, traffic lanes are about fourteen feet wide, so the bus and I were apparently separated by seventy feet or more.
For Martywj: Class A or B misdemeanor would make me (or anyone else) ineligible for CHL for five years, felony it's for life.
That last line in the statute kinda gets me...I paraphrase, "if the passengers are not allowed to cross the street"; why was this an infraction in the first place...Maybe I'm missing something...I probably am...
