Where did that happen? The bus driver needs to be fired.

Losing control? Hah! That's just an example of how the typical
****-poor driver reacts when confronted with a low-speed avoidance
manuever. The pickup driver could have slammed on the brakes or even
moved laterally a very few feet and continued merrily on their way,
there was plenty of room.

I think this represents what's often called an "avoidable collision".
It appears to me that the pickup had plenty of time to stop before
slamming into the pedestrians.

I think it's a good practice to try to ensure whoever "causes" a crash
is involved in the crash. Without the camera the pickup would have a
hard time validating the fact that a school bus forced their avoidance
manuever.

But the bus driver wasn't speeding! How could he operate a vehicle
unsafely if he wasn't exceeding the speed limit?

Sorry, lost my mind temporarily.

Apparently so did the bus driver and the pickup driver. I've seen
people drive in an unsafe manner at 10-15 below the limit.

Had a case earlier this week where a guy rear-ended a tractor on US 36
west of Brookfield, MO. The tractor driver died in the wreck.
Tractors normally go 20; the posted limit is 65 (it's a 4-lane
expressway). The other driver received a C&I citation (would have
happened whether he was doing 50 or 80 in that zone).

Bus assumed his blind spot was free, pickup driver overreacted.

Took 2 to tango that time.

No, you disingenuous ****. You made the assertation that "This is
america where people routinely get 30 yrs for drug possession." Now,
either you provide proof to back up your "claim," or STFU.
