You have no idea how close I came to getting a major fine today. A couple of days ago, I gave a friend a ride home from school. On the way back, I passed by a bus just beginning to stop on the other side of the road. Right as I passed, the bus put out it’s stop flaps. And apparently, the bus driver cited me for passing a bus with it’s stop flaps out. I couldn’t have stopped in time. There was no way I could have foretold the future, and been able to stop before she put her flaps out. The whole situation was like a traffic light turning yellow when you’re fifty feet away and going thirty-five miles an hour. You can’t stop that quickly. Or at least I can’t.
Luckily, I got off with a warning, and I have to apologize to the bus driver in question on Tuesday.
For not magically bringing my car to a full stop in a few feet.
Oy.

That is a tad bit ridiculous. What’s even more ridiculous is that the law says that you have to stop even if you’re going in the opposite direction on the other side of a divided highway!
Yes, Shostakovich is awesome! Especially the 5th Symphony. You are lucky to play that piece.
The bus driver was dumb. I probably couldn’t have done that either. And the Chief is right about that law that you have to stop on the other side of the road. Its gay.
