I think you're ok because it's likely the driver just cursed you a little and didn't bother to memorize your license plate number. Make sure to stop next time!

I doubt you'll hear anything about it. It would cost too much to put cameras in all the school busses to catch you.

Why do people still attempt to drive?

What state???Some states have a court date written on the citation..Be careful, read it over carefully. If there is a court date on the ticket and you miss it you will be screwed..I live in Mass. ..I had a similar experiance some years ago. ( thank God it was not a school bus) Didn't open my eyes ,missed the court date, cost me a lot..If you have any questions go to your local court house and ask the clerk of court. They will help you. Don't be frightened. We all screw up every now and then...Watch out for those big yellow things........

We have a Suburban, does anyone know how two Britax car seats would fit in the second row?

If the driver reported your tag # it may be several weeks before you get a summons. I drove a bus years ago and they sent out summonses once a quarter. We had to appear and testify so they wanted to get them all through on the same day. If the driver didn't report your tag # you'll get a slide on this one.

BUT, you need to pay closer attention to your driving. Not seeing the flashing lights on a school bus is inexcusable. Whatever you were paying attention to was certainly not driving.

what do i put on car windows to stop it from freezeing over during the night?

Here in Maryland you must stop 10ft from the school bus once the RED lights are activated and the stop sign is out. At least here a police officer must witness a moving violation occuring for a citation to be issued. Cameras can issue citations however they usually dont include points, which will affect your insurance. Furthermore the bus driver probaly called in your tag, no camera, and you may get an informal warning but not an actual ticket. If you do get a ticket take it to court and argue that the lights on the bus were not red when you initated the pass. On another note you should be careful around school buses.

Is it legal to drive a car barefoot?

OK your young and a fairly new driver, wether or not you get a ticket is not important, what is important here is that you learn from this. I lost a very dear Friend who was hit by someone who didn't;t bother to even slow down for the school bus, let alone stop. You need to be cautious around school buses, if they're stopped on the side of the road and don't have their lights flashing, SLOW DOWN, give them the widest berth you can while passing. When you see a buss slowing down to stop, Do not race past it, the kid you save might be your own some day.

My brother in law got in a horrible car accident last night....?

Were you paying any attention when you took your driving classes (theory)? Never, never pass a school bus, the fines are very high and there is a legitimate and good reason for that. I suggest you go back to review your book.

Learn from your mistakes by not repeating them again and review your book. You will find additional information that you overlooked. If you do not shape-up your parents will take away all privileges. I know I will if I was your mom. Keep in mind that accidents are preventable.
