James, you are not providing much detail of what happened, and the two statements you gave in your post are totally disconnected - "a woman who decided to take it out on me" has no direct relation to ending up in court for pasing a bus.

I'm not a lawyer either, but I know that it's the details of the circumstances that will make or break your defense. You will get better advice if you explain the whole story of what happened and when.

Gaz, I assumed he meant that she called the cops on him and lied in retaliation for something he did to her (such as cut her off). It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

I'm not a lawyer...but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night....,
Just kidding, I am however a police officer in Tennessee. Just remember your innocent until proven guilty without a shadow of doubt, That is if the constitution applies in your area. Oh and by the way the burden of proof lies with the woman who swore the warrant out against you.
The only defense I can see to running the busses stop sign is; if waved on by the bus driver or directed to proceed by an officer or crossing gaurd. If you didn't run the sign and any witnesses exsist to testify to that, It would be in your best intrest to have them by your side in court.
Now if you did run the sign...I'd rather be honest and throw yourself to the mercy of the court rather than get proven guilty after entering a not guilty plea.
Best of luck
