Here's a strange one that happened to me (quite a few years ago) and I still don't know what the school-bus driver was thinking...
I turn onto a 2-lane rural road & see a school bus oncoming, yellow lights flashing, about to stop to pick up a child. The bus is about 150 or 200 yards away, & no other vehicles in sight at all.
So I figure it's silly to accelerate towards a school bus, so I leave it in 2nd gear & just idle along at about walking speed. By now the bus has stopped with the red lights flashing. I figure by the time I actually get anywhere close to the bus, the boy will be on the bus & the driver will start moving.
No, the driver waves to the boy NOT to cross the street to the bus. I'm still more than 100 yards away moving at walking-speed. Not knowing what's going on, I still figure it would be silly to zoom up there just to stop for the bus.
So when I get up there, I stop. The driver glares at me, then waves the boy to walk over to the bus. She was waiting for me to get there & stop?! The whole time, there were never any other cars in sight.
