May. 18th, 2006 11:56 amSo I'll expound on the car/bus fight a little today.
Basically, I was riding the bus home from visiting my cousin (yay!). We're going through the Queen & Dixie lights (heading North on Dixie). Just as we cross, there is a THUMP! and a scraping noise. The bus driver pulls over.
Some MORON didn't yield at the yield sign to turn right from Queen onto Dixie... and lost his side-view mirror (and, I'm betting, a good chunk of car). No one was injured, least of all anyone in the bus (who were mostly just rocked a little. Buses are huge in comparison to cars; the guy would have had to plow into the side directly at high speeds to do any real damage).
And this, my friends, is why you LOOK before you drive into traffic and PAY ATTENTION to road signs.
End message.

May. 18th, 2006 08:35 pmSaw a truck [18-wheeler, not some piddly-ass pickup or anything] not stop for a red light today, smashing the front passenger side of a car that was completing a left turn.
The driver of the car was fine (scared shitless, but fine), but... SERIOUSLY.
The light was red WHEN SHE WAS TURNING. What in GODFUCK was the truck driver thinking?! He must have been going 60 when he started braking just behind us (we were STOPPED, second position behind the intersection). Like... SERIOUSLY.
