REGARDING:
“School Buses are painted Glossy Yellow!”
An orange by any other name would still match perfectly.
David for Shakespearean buses and safe children
Mr. Green…….All School Buses are painted Glossy Yellow!
The kid made a mistake. She’s learning how to drive properly apparently. It is good that she survived without injury. The car was barely damaged so she wasn’t doing too badly. Now if she will just take advice about being a little more cautious to stay a little further back in inclement weather, this might not happen again to her. It will happen to someone but it need not be her.
(By the way, buses are orange.)
@Christina, you might want to have that high-dollar car looked at for a “brake” issue(not “break”) because if the ABS system on it was working correctly it wouldn’t have slid the tires at all. She was following too close AND too fast while likely spending time on her phone. Check the last sent/received text and I’d be willing to bet it coincides with the time of impact pretty well. Stop enabling your child and take some accountability. It will be the best thing you do this week.
Well said Learn to Drive!
Quit making excuses for your kid, if you have all these “apps” that tell you all this information okay, good for you. She was clearly driving in the rain and still decided that it’d be a smarter idea to follow to closely IN THE RAIN, where it is known that cars will slide. If she or you can’t comprehend that water + tires = longer braking distances, then please do me and the rest of the community a favor and stay from behind the wheel. It’s not hard to use common sense.
AGAIN, I say. I was taught you go 10% or lower than the speed limit in bad wwather. Car length every 10 mph behind the vehical in front of you! A MERCEDES????
Christina,
I’d like to correct your use of bullying here. Scolding for careless driving is not bullying.
Tell your daughter to slow down and pay attention, especially in wet conditions.
The road is not merciful.
maybe don’t follow so closely? if the accident was low speed then that makes it even more obvious who’s at fault…
But that’s ok, eat your insurance rate increase and don’t miss any payments on that SWEET RIDE with the HOT SHOES!
Most importantly… remember, tailgating and speeding is ok! Nothing bad will ever happen!
/s
A school bus! Yep probably texting. It’s raining so roads can be slick.. Hope there was a lesson learned & so glad no one was hurt.
That type of vehicle should have forward radar that automatically puts on the brakes. I know my 19 GMC has it and it will scare ya sometimes how quick it will stop if it thinks a object jumped in front of ya or you rolled up to fast on it. I can disable it BUT why
School Bus description: IT IS BIG; IT IS YELLOW: IT HAS FLASHING YELLOW AND RED LIGHTS: I HAS A SWING OUT STOP SIGN WITH FLASHING LIGHTS: NOW, what was your excuse???
You can tell from the damage or lack there of that this car was not going very fast at all. It was raining and the roads were slick it was a accident. Stop assuming you know what was going on in that car. This person probably already feels bad enough about hitting a school bus with children on it in the first place.
Keep your assumptions to yourself when you have no idea what took place. There was no speeding or texting because as her mother I have aps to watch her speed, breaking, location, and texting while driving. None of these were the case. She breaked but due to inclement weather yesterday the car continued to slide. Witnesses confirmed what took place. I’m sure none of you have never had an “accident” your probably perfect people except for the fact you like to get online and bully children that already feel bad enough about the incident. If you feel the need to bully someone. Come bully me!
I’m in this parking lot every morning and evening…
The entitlement disease is RAMPANT…
Just look at the make of the vehicle in question…
You folks need to RELAX you are setting a bad example for your children…
It is RAINING and there are KIDS AROUND, you geniuses!
DUH! WATCH OUT FOR BIG YELLOW BUSES.
THEY ARE NOT CAMO’FROGGED’
If you can’t see a big yellow bus please stop driving..
Rear-ending a BIG yellow school bus……,,,texting or driving too fast!!!!!!
Pay attention, that’s all you have to do. Thank goodness children weren’t hurt or killed.
