I'd get the license # and report her as a suspicious person around the kids/school buses.

I agree, flipping the bird in the presence of kids is wrong and may be considered a threat. Agressive behavior around school buses should be reported. Let the police see them flip out. Personally, I get a charge outa seeing all those folks running off to school. It's one of the few things that's right in this world.

And falsely reporting something to the police isn't wrong and also illegal?

The thrust of jimmy's suggestion was to create the impression that a pedophile was tailing the school bus, wasn't it? "Suspicious person around the kids/buses" implies a little more than an impatient "see you enn tee" honking her horn.

Don't get me wrong--I'm not defending her, but you want to make sure that you don't land in the soup yourself

What Mike says is right. Your report to the police brings a needless response and a possible criminal charge. Her middle finger sticking up is a protected, albeit imature, expression of speech. Whatever happened to bus stops? When the bus stopping goes beyond the mere picking up of children and turns into a social gathering the bus driver could be cited for blocking traffic and/or creating gridlock, which is a stretch.

Geeze, I missed the pedophile thing, that is an accusation that is way wrong if it isn't true. You don't pull a gun that big unless it'a true. Even if un proved or proved to be innocent , the accusation alone will leave serious damage to someone's reputation and live. Possibly dangerous damage. What she needs, really , is a quick pullover and a calming down by a prosessional police officer, a reset if you will. But I do believe that agressive behavior toward a school bus shoule be reported right away.
