So this is why we don't drive under busses.

As some of you know, I work at a transit agency and I happened across these photos. Plates have been blanked, but the story tells itself pretty readily.

Bus stopped, impatient driver doesn't want to stop, tries to jimmy around the side and bam. Probably while looking over their shoulder.

Gillig Phantom-1, Toyota Supra-0.

Holy shit.

Our cars are tanks, but I get the idea that the bumper on a bus is several orders of magnitude higher on the food chain.

 

[Suprastic]

it was a beautiful supra. WAS!

 

[chevyeater]

Wow, what a waste.

 

[supraman7mgte]

HAH! Waste of a Supra by an ignorant driver

 

[cwapface]

so THAT's how you get out the stock plastic IC pipe that goes into the fender...

 

[Suprastic]

So, Supra hit the bus, or did the bus pull from the stop into the Supra?

LOL Have fun adjusting that one. I would not want to be either driver as both of them are negligent IMNSHO.

The Supra should not have been passing, but he was clearly up beside the bus.
The Bus should have looked to make sure it was clear to proceed before pulling from the curb.

Don't know your local laws, but where I work, the person pulling from the curb has the greater duty to yield right of way to existing traffic. (And clearly the Supra was existing, since he ran over the right front wheel/fender/door with the left rear wheel/bumper of the bus.)

As I said, good luck.

 

[GrimJack]

Here, the bus has the right of way. Kinda drives you nuts, too, because before, bus drivers were usually polite. Now, they are a bunch of jerks - they just pull into traffic, and if they hit someone, they don't seem to care.

 

[IJ.]

Same here Grim!

 

[Ckanderson]

oh DAAMN!

 

[Dziuggy]

holly shit.

however there is lots of bus drivers driving like asholes all the time (i.e. they always have a right of way)

[Loki]

Let me be the first to say "That'll buff right out!"

:rofl: damn you IJ, I was going to post that.

That sucks, that Supra looked really nice

 

[Reign_Maker]

Damn, looks like that Supra f'd that bus ALL up... Hell yeah, that pussy bus couldnt even break the windshield!

That is a sad site to see... But I will say this, Supras are TOUGH! Had that been a Honda, it would've ripped in half or somethin... lol... Poor Supie... Poor poor Supie...
