OK, so I drive a Ford Explorer 15% of the time, but at least I know how to handle it;)

Anyway, I'm taking a summer Accounting class at State and I'm commuting from Burlington to Raleigh. Well once I get to campus, I take the Varsity bus which drops me off in close proximity to the Accounting building.

Well, I get out of class and head to the bus stop and I see two cops cars behind one of the State buses. And I think "OH HELL, my damn bus broke down!" But as I get closer I see the two cop cars and a white LOADED '97 or '98 Tahoe. Mofo plowed right into the back of a bus that was stopped at the bus stop. Both air bags had gone off and the front end of the Tahoe was smashed all to heck. There was some reddish liquid pouring out of the front of the truck. Of course, there was NO damage to the bus;) Both peeps in the car were fine. I assume the guy ('bout 18 or 19) was driving b/c he had a scared look on his face like the look little kids get when they see Michael Jackson. His semi-hot "lady friend" was I guess explaining what happened to the cops. The guy pulled out his cell phone and was probably talking to his dad telling him how he just smashed up daddy's $40,000 SUV:D

But, he COULD NOT have been paying attention. The buses stop in the right lane (two lanes one way, two lanes the opposite direction). And all day long buses are stopping in the right hand lane to pick people up or drop them off, so he should have been in the left lane anyway. Damn idiot!

But luckily, it wasn't my bus....mine came by about 5 minutes later :D

Hey, accidents happen. I hit a parked pickup once.
Oh wait...
No two different times I hit a parked pickup and once I hit a parked car.

I still say they should have a special Class SUV License to handle the bigger chassis SUV's like the Suburban/Yukon/Expedition. Those people are more deadly then Cancer.

Actually, all of our buses are a bright red in color with a white roof and black bumpers (school colors). Either way, you can't miss it.

The SUV was facing straight ahead, so he didn't even see the thing coming or just looked up and saw it at the last minute.

Most people couldn't miss a BUS, period... but some keep on insisting, don't they? :) I'm guessing excessive speed must have some role in this.

Proof that college freshmen don't need a $40,000 vehicle.

I agree!

The speed limit is 35MPH on Hillsborough St. But peeps regularly hit 50MPH there.

actually, not more difficult....i think if you plan on driving something rather large (ie-quad/crew cab pick-up, large SUV like Expedition and such) you should have to take a special driver's test. i grew up driving 4x4's(large and small) my entire driving life and fully know and understand that they ARE NOT regular cars. all these folks driving Tahoes and Expeditions like they are Firebirds and Accords are hurting/killing ALOT of people on the road.
we don't need harsher driving tests, we need more specialized driving tests.

I witnessed a similar accident on Friday. My roommate and I were stopped at a light when a guy driving a Saturn plowed straight into the Blazer stopped next to us at about 30 mph. The front end of the saturn was completely demolished, and the rear bumper on the truck was pushed completely underneath it. As the guy got out of the saturn, I heard him say, &quot;I don't know what happened...I tried to throw my cigarette out the window, and then all of the sudden I crashed into you...&quot;

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive ;)
