BUS DRIVERS

Holy shit! Those guys don't give a fuck about nothing.

I was on a bus once that got into an accident with ANOTHER bus. They don't even care about eachother!

EDIT:

I don't drive, I ride a bike, but I had a scary incident...

I was riding my bicycle, and crusing along pretty good (15 MPH) when an elderly asian guy ZOOMED past me, and came up to the intersection where he needed to turn.

He arrived there about 5 seconds faster than I got there, of course I slowed down to let him turn, but he had slammed on his brakes and was waiting for me to go by. A car behind him (also going fast) slammed on HIS/HER brakes, and laid on the horn.

All the while, I've stopped and am forced to get across in a hurry on the highest gear.

I'm... confused and pissed that this driver felt the need to literally ZOOM past me, just to slam on his brakes and wait for me to go across. Why didn't he drive normally and turn after me, or just gone ahead and turned?

It's not like I would've kept cycling right into his car.

I am a considerate biker, but damn some of these drivers....
