you have that batty right turn rule over in the states don't you? Don't completely understand that completely otherwise would help  Probably doesen't come into it anyway....
Are the stop signs give way (yield?) signs or traffic lights?

Wouldn't be a problem if you just put a roundabout or "rotary" as you call them there

According to our rules its a BS but in US/Canada can be different. We have give way cars on the right and on the pic both are facing, so no problem. And we dont have special scholbuses

Oops I assumed he lived in USA.  ops: But I still dont think its illegal. He didnt do anything wrong as long as he stoped fully and gave his blinkers. You are allowed to turn just not pass as far as I know. But then again its different every where. If I were you I would not worry.

I believe it is illegal. Go to your DMV website and see if you can download the state driving manual and see if that maneuver is illegal.

^ what he said
I have the TX handbook right here but no use to you, I guess. If the sign on the bus said stop then you should stop unless there is a solid median, regardless of what side of the road you are on
As for her calling in your plates, let it go to court... she is 90% likely a teacher and won't be able to attend the court hearing thus the case will get thrown out.

Does it not say "pass a stopped bus"?
Nothing about turning before a stopped bus - otherwise in theory, everyone on the same road as a bus has to stop - which the way I understand is only stop to prevent passing said bus... not stop simply because on same road as bus

In the US that is definetely an illegal maneuver. You aren't supposed to move if the bus has its flashing red lights on.

I believe its illegal. I think the main concern is that children might be crossing the street you turned right on to. That being said, i'm sure you checked to see if there actually was any kids crossing.
