    Everyone wants to blame age. I live in AZ and see plenty of old drivers. They're slow and annoying. The scary ones are the young ones driving like jack wagons. Not paying attention, careless, rude, and aggressive as hell.

    If anyone is interested in watching the video from inside of the bus.. pretty crazy!! I can't believe the guy in the bus wasn't seriously injured.

    It occurred where you go from 55mph on a highway and have to slow way down for a traffic light around a bend. Traffic can back up and it's hard to see until you get right on top of it. I've seen a few fender benders there.

    I know, right. I'd like to think she was in shock and kind of a fight or flight thing. My gut is telling me she's just a jerk.

    Do you need to know, or care?
    He's lucky he turned around just before it hit.

    I resemble that remark (or my wife does, as it's her truck) if you consider 55 to be old. :)

    Yer old as dirt bro, I should know I'm 58 with the reaction time of an 82 year old.

    Looks to me watching the video the driver of the taco never hit the brakes. He'd have swerved in the grass and at least thrown up some mud IF the brakes where on. I bet he panicked and hit the gas instead of the brake..... completely normal...

    Oh and for bashing the cowards that ran for SAFETY... there's that little thing called FIRE.... always pretty much brings out the panic in most everyone but firefighters, just sayin..

    There was a fire right where the dude in the seat that got hit against the wall over his head...

    Fire = every man for yourself, didn't we learn that in school.... fire drills and all. WTF..it wasn't fire drill everyone run towards the fire and try and help?? yeah no ..... see the auto pilot on the faces of the people fleeing. Completely normal human response.. fight (firefighters) or flight (the rest of us).
