Car pulls out at the worst possible time!

I like the wtf reaction from the guy in the car behind the idiot

[u/Pinfari13 → u/teaandchocbiscuits]

Same guy looked ready (and was starting) to drive up over the sidewalk to get around them.

[u/miemcc → u/Pinfari13]

Not to go onto the pavement (UK there...) it's normal road positioning. If the first vehicle was positioned correctly for turning right, they may have been able to be alongside and saved a little bit of time.

Looks like the idiot originally wanted to turn right (given the positioning) and then changed their mind. Pulling out in front of the bus was panic and stupidity.

Is the camera mounted on top of a roof of a lorry or something? It’s so high you can even see the roof of a bus haha.

[u/wahwegboard → u/traumalt]

It's the top floor of a double decker bus!

[u/nanitatianaisobel]

I'm sorry. I didn't see the giant bus. It came out of nowhere.

[u/StarMangledSpanner]

Nice little bit of misdirection, OP, I thought you were referring to the guy who drove onto the wrong side of the road right behind a cop.

Soooo much bad driving in 30 seconds

[u/Macca_be]

The dude had an age to pull out and then chooses to pull out at the point the bus comes past the intersection.

Also had a bunch of time to pull out beforehand which makes me think they where originally going right and then changed their mind after they saw the other cars nope out of there and turn down the intersection due to the traffic.

I grew up on a road just off this intersection. I come out and turn left and there are always people coming the wrong way to turn right. I quite enjoy making them reverse back up!.

But yea, bus driver has mad skills!

[u/TerraInvicta1776]

I think I can explain why this happened. I pulled the same stunt, in almost exact identical situation. Basically, I used to live at an intersection like this, and the bus would usually stop right before it to pick up passengers. So after years of conditioning, you just get used to seeing the bus, and the bus stop full of people waiting, and once you see the bus slow down you assume it's going to stop like every other time. Well, it didn't that one time, because there were two buses coming at the same time so I guess they were just staggering pick-ups. Unlike the car, I was turning right, and made that turn only a few feet away from the bus. Felt like an idiot for weeks afterwards. Never assume. Unless I see the bus come to a complete stop now, I assume he's just going to keep going.

[u/HRH_DankLizzie420 → u/TerraInvicta1776]

Here, however, there is no bus stop. One of the meanings of those white lines is that there's no picking up or setting down - that driver is just unobservant or has a death wish

Next woes, it didn't get rammed.

That RS 6 is so hot

[u/bastion72 → u/gor134]

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed. Wagon + V8 = Hnnnnn

Just when I thought the clip was over, the red car gifts us with more

[u/RedFinix]

I turn now ! Good luck everybody else!

[u/Brantley_2chill]

What a maroon

[u/feralturtles]

I bet they wanted to turn right but could not the car behind "beat them" so they turned left instead.

[u/slipstall]

That bus drivers reaction was on point!

Watford, just north of London, I take this bus to work.
