Lol. How did you determine it was empty, and its destination...?!

You seem to imply that you didn't leave enough room for a car to merge
while following a school bus.

A better question for you would be, "WTF is wrong with me"?

That you're an idiot? They'd have to be pretty stupid to have missed
that.

Isn't the school bus speed limit 55? In which case, the bus is doing what it's
supposed to do.
(Back home in Ohio, the signs specifically include non-commercial buses in
the 55mph group as well as semis. I'm not sure about here)

I seriously doubt it.

Uh huh...
"After this putztard merges in, I decide to demonstrate what he COULD
HAVE done: I signal, merge right into the acceleration lane, and pass
them both on the right, and merge back left into the wide open gap in
front of the school bus.
Of the total of the 3 vehicles mentioned in your report, "them both"
comprises which 2...?

CA has a statewide 55 limit for commercial vehicles -- and for a school
bus driver, one speeding ticket means losing your job. Labeling him a
sloth is uncalled for. It is a stupid speed limit, but it's not his
fault.

Maybe he can't tell that there aren't any kids on the bus. I can see
not wanting to scare them just to save a few seconds.
