I was once going 50 in a 45 zone and a SCHOOL BUS of all people was on my ass. What’s even worse is I could see him quickly gaining speed from behind when I was at 50, meaning he was going much faster. So much for being a “professional driver.” What’s even worse is this was a residential route with many side roads, joggers, cyclists, people walking dogs, etc. My friend, who used to drive a school bus, said I should reported it with the time and location because there’s no tolerance for that and that school buses are limited to 40mph (unless on the highway), even if the speed limit is above 40mph. He said, based on what I told him, this type of reckless driving would be an automatic termination.

I decided to slow down to 40. Since the bus was going to be riding my ass anyway, I figured we may as well be going slower to be on the safe side.
