Bus driver Munns, a granddad who has been a bus driver for 16 years, said he had 29 children on board at the time.
He had been following a slow-moving Toyota Highlander for 1.86 miles (3km) - and tried to overtake it when it slowed to 46mph (75kmh).
He claims he beeped his horn but he was unable to avoid clipping the Toyota.
He also described the crash as a "minor collision" and pulled over to check those in the other car were okay.

Munns said: "It's just all blown out of proportion and I know what happened.

Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre health update as family hits back at cops over bus crash
Police confirmed the crash was logged as a minor traffic crash incident report, revealing no injuries were reported.
Damage to the vehicle Virginia was travelling in is believed to be around $2000 - around £974.
Giuffre had been spending more time at the farm since her break up with her husband of 22 years Robert Giuffre.
It was revealed this week that Giuffre had been charged with breaching a family violence restraining order just days before her horror bus crash.
She had entered no plea at the Magistrates Court in Joondalup, near Perth, Western Australia.

Virginia was charged with breaching the restraining order on March 14.
That was 10 days before she said she was hit by a bus at 68mph while driving on March 24.
Virginia is due to appear in court again on April 9 for the next hearing - but that is now in doubt following the devastating crash.
Virginia sued Prince Andrew in 2021, claiming she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen.
The royal has always denied the allegations but settled out of court in 2022, reportedly paying millions to avoid a humiliating trial.
Virginia's PR, Dini von Mueffling, said this week: "Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital.
"She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending."
In the post to her Instagram, which was supposed to go to her private Facebook, she said: "They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

“I think it’s important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110kmh as we were slowing down for a turn, that no matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can.
“I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.”
Who is Virginia Giuffre?
VIRGINIA Roberts - now Virginia Giuffre, 41, is an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein.
She has made claims against Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as well as Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell - Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover.
Giuffre alleged in court documents that she was procured by Maxwell, 63, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, as a teenage “sex slave” for Epstein.
She released a manuscript just hours before Epstein's death, which added to more than 2,000 documents of a lawsuit pending against the former financier and his pals.
The legal documents were released in a defamation case involving Giuffre, who has claimed in court documents that Prince Andrew slept with her three times.
In 2019, Virginia Roberts has claimed that she had sex with Prince Andrew in a toilet when she was 17, after a night where he had allegedly been plying her with vodka in a posh London club.
On February 15, 2022, it was announced that Prince Andrew settled the lawsuit - sparing him a humiliating court battle.
