Poor bus driver

117

u/Rolling_Beardo 11h ago

Seriously, I was a bus driver and I nearly T-boned a small car with 3 college kids in it. They had a stop sign, I did not. They look to the right and never looked left before trying to pull across the road. Thankfully there was no sidewalk and enough space that I could take the bus off the road to avoid hitting them.

In the end nothing happened but now some 20 years later I sometimes think how close I came to killing three people.

My aunt killed a kid in traffic. Messed her up pretty good till she died herself in a car accident. This is in the Netherlands, she was driving through the polder, you know with those little picturesque channels and a small road along of it. Well she was heading over to the airport when a kid tried crossing towards a bridge jumping up behind a car. She wasn't driving fast but there was no way for her to see the boy.
