I allegedly passed a stopped school bus in the whole foods parking lot. The bus was parked parallel to the entrance and had its flashers on and sign out. I was driving towards the bus, and the driver yells at me that they have my plate info. Should I expect a ticket? Will a cop come visit me? I am sure I could fight unless there was a camera. Also, this happened in Virginia if that matters.

Probably not, but don't be surprised.

Why did you pass a school bus with its flashers on and sign out?
11/1/2012 1:15:31 PM
Parking lots don't count as roads. I'm pretty sure you're fine.

^because the driver got up and walked to the back of the bus. Also, it was a private parking lot. I did not want to sit all day. Hindsight it was a mistake.

It is likely relevant that the driver wasn't at the seat. You can't just set a bus there with its lights on and walk away. Nonetheless, hard to tell.I find it doubtful that it matters that it was in a parking lot. The part in front of the door probably qualifies as a private road and the law will still apply.The most important thing is to shut the fuck up if anyone calls you, the details are for your lawyer.

Won't probably matter if she reports it. They need more than just 'this driver said you did this' to bother actually ticketing you.

Be sure to go down fighting when they come for you. Blaze of glory.

Nothing will happen even if she reports it. Additionally, I hope you yelled back at her to "GET FUCKED".As to whether or not it was bad for you to do it, I don't know, I didn't see the situation.If, against all odds, someone does call you, don't talk to them. You pretty much shouldn't ever talk to the police, in general.

I don't know why "allegedly" keeps getting thrown around here.
11/1/2012 5:04:56 PM
yeah, i also meant to add that's an improper use of that word, at least up until he is actually accused of anything.
11/1/2012 5:10:54 PM
You'll most likely be fine. I highly doubt she will report it, she was probably just trying to scare you.[Edited on November 1, 2012 at 5:20 PM. Reason : oops, I posted]

Am I the only one who wants to know why a school bus is in the Whole Foods parking lot in the first place,with its flashers on?Q:a) Who goes on a field trip to Whole Foods?b) Who takes kids on a field trip to eat at Whole Foods? That place is expensive as fuck. c) If said children are at Whole Foods getting out, why put flashers on? Logically the children would be getting out on the side nearest the building.

^^ It's likely the questionable use of the flashers would play a role in the decision of the person to report it.The damage he may have done by admitting to a 5 point violation with a profile connectable to his real identity on the other hand...
11/1/2012 6:53:16 PM
^^ a public vehicular area is a standard term and includes things like parking lots but not state maintained roads.

^^I seriously doubt any Henrico, Va police read TWW. I'll post if I get any communication, or if the cops show up to my door.^^^I am just worried because it is a 6 point violation.

11/1/2012 8:45:47 PM
it's probably the highlight of a bus driver's day if they get a chance to report a person that passes them w/ the sign and all that flashing
11/1/2012 10:08:04 PM
...allegedly.
11/1/2012 10:47:17 PM
non-governmental parking lots are PVAs. Oh yeh, don't talk to the police.

no when crazy people go passing the school bus because it's in a parking lot!
11/2/2012 11:52:57 AM
I have to admit it would confuse me if I saw a bus stop stopped in the Whole Foods on Wade with it's sign out. I'd probably just turn down one of the parking lot aisles to avoid the bus entirely
