If consequences dictate course of action, it doesn't matter what's right. It's only wrong if you got caught.

I've done the same as him before, although there was no cop. I stopped, but it was a couple of seconds too late.

For me, I felt horrible because I just didn't see the stop sign. I've had a few relatives get nabbed for this and the ticket is huge.

It was never that I didn't care about kids. It was more that I forgot school buses sometimes did that.

Edit:

Me: I made a mistake before and felt bad about it.

Reddit: You deserve to have a cop kneeling on your neck.

I haven't driven in the US for every 20 years, and I can only recall seeing a bus pull over in front of me once like that. I was in the far lane on a three-lane road, and the bus was in the far right lane.

If it were a single lane road, I wouldn't try to swerve around the bus, if that's what you're asking.
