A search for "bus crash" finds copies if that one won't play.
This happened in Turkey (Akhisar).

Horizontal distance compression makes it hard to tell if the car-
driver totally blew it or the bus was going too fast also. Yes,
I'd put most blame on the car, since the driver should have seen
that conflict coming. Considering the apparent steepness of the
hill and/or rain, the bus may have lost braking power earlier.

F.W.

Caveat: There are many times when speeders make it hard to judge
when to pull out because you can't see them until it's too late
(blind hills or curves). Drivers have a right to expect vehicles
coming at them _near_ the speed limit when they merge onto
faster roads. Otherwise it's too much of a guessing game. The
speediot attitude is usually "Get out of MY way. I ain't got to
play by dem rules."

So you finally admit that sloth kills (or at least results in multiple
injuries).  You have also proven that non-speeders, like the car in the
video, are unsafe drivers who should lose their licenses and be imprisoned.

Just what we have been trying to get across to you and a few others:
sloth kills. Especially when its in the left frickin' lane!

*Should* have? Are you retarded? The driver of the car was much closer
to the bus than the camera was. How could the driver of the car *NOT*
seen the bus?

BTW, genius, since you have no reference points, you can't tell if the
car OR the bus was speeding, so you have no argument about "speediots"
causing this accident.

What you've presented is a very strong  arguments AGAINST your case,
though. The bus driver should have taken corrective measures earlier
than he did, and the automobile driver shouldn't have pulled out in
front of the bus.

Had I been the bus driver, there is no WAY I would have risked rolling
the bus over due to it's poor handling characteristics from it's being
top-heavy. Instead, since the retard in the automobile caused the
accident, I would have used the automobile as a crumple zone.

>that conflict coming. Considering the apparent steepness of the

Considering how retarded of a stunt this video shows, who cares? It's
obvious the automobile driver is too stupid to be a contributing
member of society, and that individual needs to have it's gene pool
license revoked immediately.

Huh?  How is this related to LLB?  I see some idiot cutting off a bus
entering the right lane, and then a bus in the right lane losing control as
the bus driver locks up the wheels trying not to rear-end the car in the
right lane.  -Dave
