  • It's a good idea to stop...

    ...or something like this might happen:



    I was a passenger in the bus. Got off the bus with everyone else who could and took the photo. Walked to the bus stop for the next bus but felt dizzy. Went to hospital to be checked out, just suspected whiplash.

    The car in the rear was going so fast he hit the car in the middle into the bus! One woman was hurt quite badly, most others were either minor, like my own, or apparently not affected.

    What an idiot though! What are the chances he was using his phone at the time?

    It's tradition, or an old charter, or something!

      Thanks. Still a bit muzzy and feeling a bit stiff around the shoulders, but OK otherwise.

        Good heavens. Glad you're (mostly) okay.

        I'm with you on the phone vote. Far too many incidents like this happen because people are distracting themselves when they should be paying attention, and nowadays the distraction is usually phones.
