Bus Crash Test

Bus Crash Test
We have carpro1017 to thank for this public service announcement.

Sitting up front, with a good view of the road, may seem like the way to travel if you gotta get on a bus, but you may want to reconsider that choice after you've watched this Bus Crash Test video. We're thinking a) being the driver would not be a good job to have in this instance and b) sitting somewhere behind the first few rows would be a great idea.

Love the slo-mo, though!

Try not to cry watching this McLaren F1 get crash tested.

Bus Meets Tornado

Bus Meets Tornado
barnesy brings us weather news from abroad where bus meets tornado has a predictable ending!

In something reminiscent of 'Tornado Week' on the Weather Channel, this bus filled with Polish choir singers is about to get put on the spin cycle. We're not sure what they're all saying - sorry, our Polish is a bit rusty - but it sounds a little bit like "Oh holy f***ing sh*t, we're completely f***ed now!" or words to that effect.

Oh the horror! Watch what happens when nature goes bad

Generally, though, human stupidity is all that's required for disaster to strike!

Don't Mess With A Bus Driver

Don't Mess With A Bus Driver
We're not sure where Roma007 finds all his great uploads but they're generally guaranteed to be a) good and b) pretty amusing.

It's pretty simple: if you're going to drive like a total idiot, pick someone your own size to piss off. And no, we're not talking about the bus driver, who seems to be just minding his own business, we're talking about the lane-swerving, probably-on-the-phone a-hole in the minivan in front.

Moral of the story is don't mess with a bus driver cause it's a battle you're sure to lose. And yes, we would have rammed them too!

They should be glad this bus wasn't the one to hit them.

Female Bus Driver = Beware

Female Bus Driver = Beware
We are LOL at this video from Roma007

Yeah, yeah, we all know that women driver's get a bad rap. But, that's because they're so often seemingly incapable of keeping the vehicle they're operating from being involved in an accident. We're really not sure how the driver of this bus manages to lose control quite so spectacularly on a basically-deserted, smoothly-paved road (OK, there's a really slight bend in it) but she does.

Wait for the plaintive cry of the lone passenger, "Please let me out!", after the bus lands on some parked cars. Let's hope she's not planning on picking up any more passengers!

And, unfortunately, they don't seem to get any better with age!
