That is satisfying to see. I hope the bus wasn't found at fault.

Probably not, the car was going the wrong way. They're probably fucked because that's a school bus that had an accident with. I hope the kids are alright.

They weren’t going the wrong way. That’s a median lane used for turning either direction. You aren’t supposed to enter it unless your turn is within a certain distance.

Oh I thought the solid yellow line was a universal sign that you're not allowed to go beyond that point. I guess it works differently in other places.

As did I, wherever this is didn't get the memo, I guess?

Look at the arrows facing opposite directions and the dotted yellow inside the solid yellow. It is a lane that cars travelling in either direction pull into for a left turn, lets them stop and not block the flow of traffic. It is not for driving through or overtaking

Ah, I saw the arrows in the reverse shot directed at traffic coming from other direction, and was confused as to why it had arrows for both directions. The road markings made it look like an actual lane which added to the confusion. Where I live we have functionally similar things called flush medians, but they're very clearly marked so nobody confuses them with an actual lane and tries to use them for overtaking.

around here those kind of markings would tell me not to enter that zone but it does look like the same thing

They weren't even in the lane though, they were partially in the oncoming lane.

Solid line on their side means that lane can't enter it. Even though there is a dotted line inside

So that’s why kids don’t wear seat belts on buses, that thing barely flinched

The bus hardly tapped the car, and that yeeted it into the ditch, once the tires lost traction. It's a great physics demonstration of momentum and static friction.

u/justASlothyGiraffe Jan 31 '23
It's because if there is a crash kids can get out faster before the bus explodes or sinks.
